MR O26 - The release that never was

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

a) Doesn't make sense to follow MR027 with MR026, all the other releases are chronological.

b) releasing a cover as an A-Side and lose out on royalties? Yeah right.

I think you meant:

7":
A- Red Skies Disappear
B- Driver
ROGI- "Another long white line" "For Spiggy + Lucas Fox"

12"
A- Red Skies Disappear/Wide Receiver
B- Driver/Candle/Teachers-Adrenochrome
ROGI- "Teach me speed and to receive"


And yes, I'm well aware Candle is just an instrumental (although MUCH better sounding, on the versions I have) of Driver.

pressing plants, they just dont pay attention to detail.

of course, it should be MR 028.

A. gimme gimme gimme
B. body electric

front cover; bearded reptilian eldritch picture
rogi; "incoming" & "death from above"

the sisters dont care about the MCPS royalties on the cover version as the record sells 150,000 over a 10 year period ( 100,000 to men & an extra 50,000 cos girls buy this 12" as well.)

MR028 - that'd be the 12" 'A Place to Hide' EP.

A- Red Skies Disappear / Candle / A Rock and A Hard Place (Disco Mix)
B- Emma (ext.) / Sister Ray

ROGI "A" - 'April is the Cruelest Month'
ROGI "B" - 'Und Sie bilden mich nicht eifersuechtig...'


once again, I have too much time on my hands....

And MR028 would be released next year and be named "In Der Schwarz Stern"

A Side- He's Got The Whole World In His Hands/Snub Nose/Burn It Down (amphetamix)/Highschool/This Corrosion (Alan Vega demo)
ROGI- "How Very Good We Are"

B Side- Jihad (shortened) (amphetamix)/Candle (with Ghost Dance)/This Corrosion (James Ray demo)/Amphetamine Logic
ROGI- "Will you goths keep it down? You've got your album!"

The last track would ideally have all the past Sisters in.
And the cover would be of them all sat around a Candle. :)



That'd be my ideal album. I'll get my coat.

after the RAH gig, eldo meets Lemmy & they team up to re-release 'ace of spaces'.* its the first heavy metal/g*th crossover record & gives run dmc/aerosmiths 'walk this way' a pasting in the loudest drum machine on the planet stakes.

i like the "-mix" element. more of those please.

Great stuff, keep 'em coming.

One small point however: the good Dr. was always the loudest drum machine on the planet.

Would that be the Black EP? :innocent:
