I don't think that's a Cleopatra release; it's just that Dressed To Kill
likes to license stuff from other labels and Cleopatra is easy.  I passed
on that one after getting burned by another Dressed To Kill compilation:
_Stilletto Vamp: A Goth Masterpiece_.  Two of the selections were the
Sisters doing "Temple of Love" and the Crue doing "Love Cats".  I figured
the Crue was just a typo, but no, it really was a different band doing
the Cure song, and the Sisters were not the Sisters of Mercy.  And there
wasn't that much Goth all together.  Definately did not live up to the
packaging.
