Right now I’d settle for an EP of new songs or an audio only release of Wake or an audio release of the show with Susanne on it.

At this rate there will be more books written by fans than albums by the band…

Andrew only playing new songs at gigs was a clever concept which very effectively kept the attendances high when other heritage acts are playing to ever smaller audiences. But given his voice is shot then the only way to do the new songs justice is in a recorded setting. Otherwise like all other her...

Absolutely anything.
Whatever the artist wants.
I’d buy a CD and download it!!’

Unfortunately the band/Andrew is going out with a whimper rather than a bang.
A shame as lots of the new songs are good.
A couple of decent albums worth.

The older unreleased songs can be released on the quick follow-up album to capitalize on the first one's success

I think this is the correct answer.

Vive le Rock magazine are now offering the CD as a free gift to incentivize subscriptions: https://vivelerock.net/products/3-mag-mini-subscription-to-vive-le-rock Giving the cd away as part of an offer would seem to indicate poor sales. I think we can give up all hope of a new Sisters album. Any ch...

Unfortunately more indirect evidence that the Luddite won’t be releasing new music.

Tobias has put up another albums worth of covers.
It’s on iTunes but I haven’t checked Spotify.
I like the version of Crash and Burn.

I think I essentially given up on new stuff. I agree about the heel dragging.
Lots of people seem to have a downer on RSD don’t they?!

I guess that the relationship with Andrew is “okay” after the Gift release.
They are selling the Hits LP and tee shirts.
Hopefully bodes well for the future.

My copy of the Reptile House is so worn to s**t now... and it's rare that I get to buy a new Sisters record these days. So I'll probably get it because it's a tiny bit exciting to buy any new record, quite frankly. I'm a sucker, a target market - I accept that. But buying more Sisters records gives...

I’m pretty excited about all the movement in the Sisters-sphere with the previous release of the BBC sessions, Gift, and now a Reptile House Reprint. Would be cool to get an official reprint of something like Damage Done for a future RSD release Absolutely agree, but I suspect beyond Wake as an aud...

So we have had the BBC sessions and the Cadiz version of Gift in recent years.
What next Wake released as an audio cd and download?

For some kind of strange reason I’ve doubled up a bit on the Sisters with CDs and downloads.
So watch me part with money when it hits iTunes…

Interesting that James Ray’s stuff us now available digitally.
Proves it can be done.
Like I’ve said before, I guess Von sees the money in gig tickets and tee shirts…

Anyone know what else WEA might have in the Vaults? A live album? In a perfect world we should have three of em, but according to the late great Chris Tsangarides, all Hamburg 90 recordings where stashed away by Eldritch after finishing the mixes of the three shows. Only Ribbons and Something Fast ...

Worth noting James is on iTunes now.
Can we all get hopeful for any other debuts digitally?
Of course I’m thinking Gift.

Let’s be honest of all the unreleased songs how many would have been “hits” back in the day? Crash and Burn and Susanne possibly. Decent album tracks? Arms and Summer? Of the current crop of songs Genevieve and Show Me etc don’t really cut the mustard. Eldritch would have released new music if it wo...

A live album?

Any one sent any messages to Cadiz showing them the BBC sessions release!

It’s a thing of beauty.
Just neat to have my headphones on and be playing with my various CDs while sitting on the sofa.
Rock and roll!
Great to have Good Things and Jolene officially released.

Thank you and presumably Good Things can come off the extensive list of unreleased tracks? No worries, it's already @discogs and I'll update the SistersWiki in the coming days ... https://www.discogs.com/The-Sisters-Of-Mercy-BBC-Sessions-1982-1984/master/2218273 https://sisterswiki.org/Albums#Record...

I wonder who will update Wikipedia and other sites now there is an actual new album?

Also on iTunes a band called Sisterhood with an album called Gift.
Sadly not Andrew and chums.
