Body And Soul 12" for six quid

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.

Just seen it in the window of a second hand record shop in the Merrion Centre, Leeds. Thought someone might be interested. Highly recommended for the excellent re-working of Body Electric.

And you tell me this AFTER I spend £8 on it?

In related news, I looked for that £2.99 Floodland 12" earlier, and found it had gone but was replaced with a £2.99 Doctor Jeep b/w Knocking On Heaven's Door.

No, I didn't buy that either. a) My dad was there and b) I had no money. :(

Still a bargain. Some of us have been dumb enough to pay 75 dollars for the inferior earlier version. :roll:

A euro's worth about 70p. So that makes 6 pounds about 8.5 euros by my (calculator's) reckoning. Looks like you got a bargain too.

That's true. That's why I never told them I'd bought Body And Soul. They knew I bought Gift though. Those were in the days when I thought a fiver was cheap for Gift. -.-

Dark you can pick up a turntable at Richer Sounds for less than fifty quid :innocent:

Yes I know that's still a lot of money but it's Christmas soon :innocent:

i think he needs one that has built in speakers though - those ones all plug into separates systems and need phono pre-amps etc...

...though to be honest the sound you're going to get from a standalone one is probably going to be sh*te anyway so i really wouldnt bother with that.

my advice would be to get one of those turntables for 50 quid, then save up and get a cheap seperates amp for 50 quid (the cambrodge al is not bad at all), then a cheap pair of speakers (missions are pretty popular).

it might mean you'll have to wait a while but at the end of it you will have the beginnings of a decent stereo, and its all nice and modular so that as you got older and get more cash you can replace the various bits one by one with better stuff ;)

I got Gale speakers with my first hi-fi set up; and I still use them (these ones as it happens). Cheap CD players are OK but IMO the speakers are probably the most important part to get right.

Or you could go to a car boot and pick up a old Technics system for 30 quid.
I don't know the year of manufacture but I think Maggie was still in power. Works very well though. The only thing I've had to do with it is buy a new belt for the turntable.

:notworthy: :notworthy:

My dad probably still has the speakers to his, even though he gave his turntable to my sister (it was a top of the range one, hydraulic arm, et al) and she never uses it. I think the speakers in question are the ones still used in our stereo in the lounge. I'll need to start earning now. :)
