Fantasy Sisters Box Set Tracklisting!

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.

I'm kinda curious as to what folks would want to see in a Sisters box set - should one ever see the light of the day! Or what is out there on boots that has been purloined from 'official' sources that could be reclaimed....
I love my box sets! Got the recent one by the Band a few weeks back and it's awesome. The Dylan ones are great, the Velvets box has some amazing stuff on it. Likewise the Nuggets boxes. The Joy Division one is beautifully produced.
Basically we all know there is a lot of stuff out there - some of the bootlegs are terrible but there is demo stuff, b sides, live stuff, session stuff. Could expand on Some Girls Wander, include all the albums (or some of the tracks).

I'm not that up on the demo stuff. But been reading about demos of the covers (Emma etc) as well as 'properly' recorded stuff.
What do folks think - is there enough material to fill 4/5 CDs (considering you can get 70-75 mins per CD). DVD? Whether you like or dislike the Band for example their recent Robbie Robertson curated box is great. The booklet is informative, the mastering is great, the 'never heard before' tracks are fascinating. The DVDs got unbelievable TV/live stuff on it...

Is there a comprehensive list anywhere of ALL of the Sisters recorded output, demos as well? Live obviously there is an embarassment of riches...

Apologies if this thread is similar to any previous ones or embarrassingly naive! I'm still new to this board :eek:

This would make a decent 4-CD box set if it got an official release.

1st CD would have all the tracks remixed.

Has anyone got a spare set knocking around?
I would gladly do some copies myself when I can get the bloody cd copier to work.
Pretty please with sugar on top.
