After a decade-long wait in the absence of an official vinyl release, Greek bootleggers decided to issue
a variety of 7" bootleg-singles and box-sets featuring live versions of the unreleased Sisters songs
We Are The Same, Susanne and Top Nite Out. The name of this 7" single as given on the cover front
is, however, "Suzanne" only (spelled wrong).

Remarks
- This bootleg-single is a limited edition of 200 copies in total and exists in basically three editions:
- The first 100 copies were pressed on gold-coloured vinyl; followed by 50 copies on black vinyl
- and another 50 on multi-coloured black vinyl
- The labels are printed in grey shades and show a varied detail of the front cover motive on each side.
- Apart from the side note printed in bold capital letters, there is no information given on the labels.
- Basically, all copies of this bootleg are hand-numbered in a specific rectangular white space
- on the cover back. Some are not numbered, though. See the details down below.
- The coverart and the layout of all these editions are similar and differ only with regard to the colour.
- The picture on the cover front shows a detail from the central west portal, the Virgin's Portal
- at Our Lady of Reims Cathedral. The group of sculptures is called - according to its theme
- - The Presentation (of Christ) in the Temple and originally consists of four figures, which are
- from left to right: Joseph (holding two doves as a sacrificial offering), Mary with the infant Christ
- (now headless) whom she is showing to the aged Simeon and Hanna (omitted in the picture).
- Notre-Dame of Reims Cathedral was a coronation church of the French kings and is one of the
- finest gothic structures ever built.
- On the right side of the cover reverse is another picture of a stone sculpture,
- the origin of which we have so far not been able to detect. It is, however, not
- from Reims Cathedrale as the style differs significantly.
- The left side of the back cover shows a blurred head-and-star logo;
- below it are the track list, the place and time of recording "LIVE IN BELGIUM 22/02/09,
- and at the bottom is a white rectangular space for the hand-numbering such as /200
- The song title We Are The Same, Susanne is shortened and spelled wrongly "Suzanne" on all issues.
- Later on, some further limited editions of 10 copies were produced in the form of
- a) a test pressing issue, and
- b) two box-sets, also 10 copies in total

- In particular the gold-coloured copies are not all numbered.
