   The song "Alice" appears on the first Sisters ep which is self
titled. It also includes the songs "Floorshow, 1969" (an excellent
remake of the Stooges original) and an instrumental (name of which I
don't remember). This was followed by the "Reptile House" ep and then
the album.  This does not include the numerous singles and bootlegs
associated with any European band.
   BTW, the lead singer for Sisters was (is?) Andrew Eldritch and not
Wayne Hussey (source : the Trouser Press guide to new music and my old
girlfriend, Sisters fan extrodinere). When the Sisters split Hussey
moved from guitar to vocals for the Mission. I'm not sure who sings
for the new Sisters but it could well be Eldritch.
