The only "proper" full-length album released by the band during their short career (1983's The Bluebells was a mini-album released in the U.S. showcasing their singles), Sisters featured remixed versions of earlier singles "Cath" and "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" as well as the contemporary singles "I'm Falling" and "Young at Heart". The album reached #22 on the UK Albums Chart in August 1984.

In 2020 it was announced that the album would be re-released by Last Night From Glasgow, on their Past Night From Glasgow label, on Vinyl and CD.[2][3]
