the sisters on aol.com

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.

That's been out for years, but I've never been sure if it's an official release or not.

it doesn't seem to be on iTunes - I followed the link and the only Sisters albums are FaLaA, ASCOOB and Vision Thing

Edit: although iTunes also specifies "Disbanded 1990"

It's not a great bootleg either.

Agreed. Even the Nijmegen (sp?) gig from 84, with the uber 17 minutes Ghostrider just can't compare to the sheer f**king POWER of Exile On Euphoria.

Why it is "Exile" whereas the tour was "Exxile" still confuses me. In fact, why they called the tour was "Exxile" confuses me as well. :P

The double X was intended to be read as the roman numerals for 20, what with it being the 20th anniversary tour.

if you put a band name into the AOL search engine you have to specifically click "search web for..." otherwise the arrogant cnuts at AOL default you to their KNOW NOTHING music profile jobbies,a la Quiff boy's link :roll:

that doesn't change the fact that AOL are promoting bootlegs - it just means they're promoting a box set of bootlegs, amongst other things.
