As I recall, the row wasn't about the "The Sisters Of Mercy" name. It was the use of "The Sisterhood" as Wayne & co were playing under that moniker to begin with & Von wasn't happy about it.XidiouX wrote:
That's a very interesting point to speculate on, Mark. After all he, won the court case and had proved his point. In a sense, Eldritch was ultimately as dishonest as Hussey & Co. by going back to the TSOM name as both parties had pledged not to do this.
There's also the question of what would have happened if both parties had kept their word? Maybe the Hussey camp would have become The m*****n straight away. As for Eldritch, would he have returned in a band with a completely different name? As a solo artist? We'll probably never know.
I might be wrong, but I think The Sisters Of Mercy was already registered as a company in Von's name, so that was never really in any danger.
advising in an Edition of Underneath the Rock, that "First and Last and Always" had just recouped its costs quite recently and that "Floodland" had recouped just the year before and so he was expecting the same of Vision Thing. But i'm sure that Publishing is a completely different Beast to that of Production Costs
