Enter the Sisters

~ Release by The Sisters of Mercy (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Enter the Sisters was originally part of the Family Tree 8CD Box Set and is a bootleg collection of all the official 7" and 12" single releases from 1981-1985.
This version was available for download on Bandcamp for a while and appears to be somebody's attempt to re-compile the same tracklist.
There are a few errors and oddities in this compilation:
- track 3, listed as Adrenochrome is actually track 4 Body Electric and vice versa
- track 17, Heartland seems to be an edit of the 4:47min version from the Temple of Love 12" that cuts off 30s of the very long fade-out of the original
- track 19, listed as Body & Soul is actually a compilation of Body and Soul / Body Electric / Train / Afterhours in a single file, the additional songs are separately available as tracks 20-22
- track 27, listed as Temple of Love (extended version) is actually a compilation of Temple of Love (extended version) / Heartland / Gimme Shelter in a single file, Heartland is the complete 4:47min version, Gimme Shelter is separately available as track 18
