On this day in 1986, side-project #TheSisterhood released their only album, "Gift". Masterminded by #AndrewEldritch as part of a strategy to control the future of #TheSistersOfMercy in conflict with ex-Sisters #WayneHussey and #CraigAdams.

On March 11, 1985 #TheSistersofMercy released their #GothicRock #masterpiece First&Last&Always.
The #DaveAllen produced album was the band's debut full-length LP, ft the classic lineup of #AndrewEldritch #GaryMarx #WayneHussey #CraigAdams & Doktor Avalanche, band's drum machine.
