yes, all a tad adolescent really, which was an odd choice given that the audience demographic was dominated by 30 and 40 somethings.

I was surprised by the choice of support band - Ulterior sound rather trad early 90s goth (like Dream Disciples or Merry Thoughts), which I thought Eldo always shied well away from 'cos of the whole 'we are not goth' issue. They were pretty damn good too. Oh yes... and I was stone cold sober in the ...

Cool. That was probably the best Sisters gig I've been to in the last 8-10 years. Felt quite let down the last few times, but that was totally enthralling. I'm not overly keen on some of the souped up new versions of the oldes like Anaconda and Temple Of Love, but the slowed down Body Electric and t...

Really? c'mon just how fuckin' stupid is that statement?

yup, and I want to know how they square that with their current bullsh*t big idea of the 'Big Society'?!?

To misquote Al: 'What we are looking at is lies and evil, a Blue World Order'

According to the tracklist, they played the session of Avalanche of Love twice, which seems abit unlikely!

and whilst I'm signed in, this forthcoming film might interest people:

nazis in space to a Laibach soundtrack.... black planet indeed.

Andrew Collins is supposed to be playing some March Violets tracks from 9pm-12am tonight on BBC6Music. No idea if they will be session tracks or singles, but I'm sure it'll be worth staying up for!

Play Loud, Play Purple, Play BBC6...

I'm looking forward to the day...

it might be worth 99p perhaps!

I'm sure I once saw a CD version of this box set released on Resurrection Records...

I record alot of stuff from BBC6 on a Pure Evoke DAB radio in mp2 format, then convert it to wav and mp3. The quality is absolutely excellent, so long as I remember to angle the aerial in the right direction.

What happened after was the Public Enemy tour, which seems to have been the point at which the wheels really started coming off. The band also started falling apart with Tony James leaving to revisit his puppet show, Bricheno for reasons that were never really too clear, and Bruhn for his solo care...

According to their schedule, BBC6 Music is due to be playing the Sisters' 1982 Peel session at 4.30am tomorrow morning! Marc Riley played three of the four tracks a few weeks ago, but talked over each of the outros, which was a tad annoying - hopefully they will play them in their entirety tonight. ...

I don't know where the bootleggers got their master tapes to press these bootlegs, but the sound isn't very good on them sadly! They look nice though hung up in the window.

glad to know my memory has survived the sodium haze so far! Thanks James!

How do you get 7 songs on a single side of a LP? isnt´ it limited uo to 25 Minutes a side?

Obscure In Darkness has 7 tracks on each side - it is possible, but the more you pack on, the lower the sound quality becomes.

The version of this gig which has the Rosetta Stone track tacked onto the end is the one which I did for someone in a trade - possibly Mr Blast, I don't recall. A mate got the James Ray 'Dios Esta Todavia De Nuestro Lado - AD 1993' live disc when he ordered a couple of copies of the Peru4080 dvd - i...

wish I'd got this one back in the day, before all the prices started going crazy!

the Australian bootleg factory plays on and on...

WoW - now that is a rare one, perhaps the rarest (other than the gatefold). Colour looks very similar to the Silence Gatefold red? does anyone own both?

I also heard back in the early 90s that the Sisters were the most bootleged band, although maybe that should have been with the caveat 'in comparison with the number of officially released albums'? There was an excellent article on bootelgs in the Guardian around that time which banged on about Dyla...

Weren't multiple copies of the fake DD advertised repeatedly in the back of the NME in the latter half of the 80s for £35 a pop? Or may it was £25, I can't recall.

it used to always be on sale for not less that £35, but seems to sell for far less these days.

On a related topic - does anyone have digital broadcasts of the two Lorries Peel sessions? They have been played on BBC6 in the past couple of years. I have odd tracks, and FM broadcasts but not nice clean versions. Nightmare - Gideon Coe on BBC6 played two Lorries Peel tracks (Happy and Conscious ...

wow!

how come i didn't notice that one?

Oh... only available to the US - what a ijit, they clearly didn't realise that the high bidders all reside in the Old World.
