"Sister Moon" was Transvision Vamp's fifth single release and the final single to be taken from their debut album Pop Art. It was a minor hit on the UK Singles Chart in 1988, peaking at #41.[2]

In Australia, "Sister Moon" was released in 1989[1] as the fourth and final single from the album, following "Tell That Girl to Shut Up".

Critical reception[edit]

Jerry Smith of British magazine Music Week reviewed single positively. He called title track a "fine pop song", "downbeat ballad with acoustic backing and breathy vocals" and expressed assurance that single will grant "high exposure to give them yet more chart action."[3]
