Notes:
– Although a couple of fans have claimed that they have seen copies of the “Always Ready (For Love)” 7″ in yellow vinyl, the band sais that this is actually a myth.
– Another myth is that Bitches Sin played live in Holland during the early 1980s
– Guitarist Ian Toomey reported that he has enough unreleased demo material for a future release
– Known as Flash Point during 1987-2008
– Bitches Sin appeared on several compilations, here are some of the most significant:
“Lead Weight” (LP, Neat, 1981) with the track ‘Down The Road’. This compilation was also released on CD by Sanctuary in 2002
“Heavy Metal Heroes” (LP, Heavy Metal Records, 1981) with the track ‘Strangers On The Shore’
“12 Commandments In Metal” (LP, Roadrunner, 1985) with the track ‘Ain’t Life A Bitch’
