Record shopping...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I saw a fantastic programme about punk a few years back. When asked about that song, Hugh (IIRC) gave this long talk about heroin and how it can ruin lives. Then they cut to Jet Black who just said "I thought it was about toast." :lol: :lol: :notworthy:

My mum (who is incredibly naive in a lot of ways, bless her) thought "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones was about "a coloured girl".

Asda had a bunch of Queen CDs on sale for less than a fiver each. Only Queen I, Jazz and the Game to go before I've recovered all their vinyl I had to sell to supplement my student grant.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

Good boy, Francis. I noticed in HMV too, due to the recent New Order album (I've got it on vinyl, like I said, but it's really not that good), they've rereleased all the New Order records on CD, and even all the Joy Division CDs. I bought Unknown Pleasures and Still, but to be honest, I want them on vinyl.
After all, if I want a CD, I can burn it myself. If I want a record, I'd have to spend a hell of a lot to press my own.

I still remember the first time I listened to parallel lines on vinyl [1982], it's still soooo good!! recently got it on cd so can keep in the car.
Atmosphere is just amazing/profound/unique.

Funny, the guy who sold it to me didn't like it, saying She's Lost Control (the b-side) was much better. But he's a punk at heart, even if he DOES own all the Sisters records. ;)

I agree with him. I also prefer Novelty to Transmission.

i may have to disagree with you there Francis...Transmission is one of my all time must have 12" singles...true classic in it's own right...the B'side never came into it 8)

where as "She's Lost Control" is an excellent song and a worthy B'side...i can't say that i prefer it over Atmosphere...although it is a very tight call
