"Vision Thing", the third and last album by UK band The Sisters of Mercy was released in 1990, on band's own label Merciful Release (under distribution contract with EastWest).

The album was designed by songwriter and singer Andrew Eldritch as an attack on United States policies (the title comes from a George H. W. Bush quote). ["Vision Thing", Oxford Dictionaries, retrieved 21 May 2003. [http://www.askoxford.com/worldofwords/quotations/phrasefable/visionthing/] ]

Described by Andrew Eldritch as 'a fine album' [http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/gen/discog.htm] . "Q magazine" included it in their 'Fifty Best Albums of 1990' list. It appears that the majority of tracks on the album are based on the original demos, Eldritch being unhappy with the mixed versions and going back to basics.
