Alice is the first independent EP by the Sisters of Mercy, released on 12" vinyl in March 1983 by Merciful Release, the band's own label.
After one week of pre-production at Andrew Eldritch's flat in Leeds, four tracks were recorded over two weekends with producer John Ashton of the Psychedelic Furs at Kenny Giles's studio in Bridlington: "Alice", "Floorshow", Stooges cover "1969" and the unreleased "Good Things".
The same four songs had been previously recorded for a BBC radio session in August 1982.
"Alice" and "Floorshow" were released as the band's third 7" single on 21 November 1982. With two additional tracks, "1969" and the new recording "Phantom", it was re-released in March 1983 as a 12" EP.
Ashton financed a US release (the band's first) of the 12" EP on Island Park, New York label Brain Eater Records.
The EP was never released as a stand-alone CD, but was included on the Some Girls Wander by Mistake collection.
