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.
Yes it is. Given out by record company way back when I believe. Got mine through someone who worked in record shops and he assured me, like the Vision Thing belt and the This Corrosion t-shirt, that it was official.
Matt..
Kind of a bargin, especially since it's from the espirt website!

Are you sure this is a TSOM item ? It may well not be after all. Maybe he's just into Egyptian stuff.
He may even be an Alan Parsons fan.
Definitely a TSOM fan. I asked him about it first time I met him. He lent me the Kiss The Blade video, and some Kiss The Blade fanzines, and burnt me a few boots. Nice guy, if still a little bit drug-addled from his past.
I bought an official VT shirt at Wembley in '90. The symbol looked like the one on the album cover, with the embossed effect, and it also had thin black lines across it. I wonder where mine is.
i was given it some time ago by another heartlander as it didnt fit him, and never had... it had been in the bottom of his wardrobe for the last 13 or so years and never seen the light of day
i wore it a few times when i first got it, but dont really wear it anymore to be honest.
do they really go for that much cash?
What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
methinks those VT belts weren't produced expressly for TSOM; they seem generic & not at all "Sisters-y" looking.
is there anything on the back about WEA/Elektra, or Merciful Release? i passed on one because it's really just an eye of Horus buckle, not a TSOM buckle.
the head/star on that shirt pic posted looks a bit off-centre.
Well, they were sent out as promotion for the VT album, and the design is the same as the one on the cover (a quick Google search would suggest that most other designs look a bit different, and are flipped horizontally). Also, Andreas Bruhn was seen sporting one way back when.
I kind of miss him, btw. My favourite of the post-1990 guitarists.
paint it black wrote:real V T belts usually costs around £100 on ebay.
And now you tell me this. Some time ago there was one for sale at the Finnish eBay equivalent. I think it went for 20 euros or something after it was listed few times and no one bid on it. I thought about buying it but then I figured it was most likely a bootleg since I had never seen one for sale.
the shirt was mentioned in UTR No1 as a record company promo.
It's definately official.
The vision thing eye of horus belts were distributed free with initial copies of the the More 12" in the UK only. It's rumoured there were only fifty made. There is nothing on the the rear of the buckle and the casting is rather poor.
It's pretty rare and I've only seen one on eBay in years. Value? £100.
I thought I had bought mine from the Reptile House via an ad in UTR. Looking through my UTR stuff, the issue dated 10 November 91 mentions that the t-shirt and the 'eye logo' buckles were produced by East West as a promotional item in the Uk.
Say!
In the dark? Here in the dark!
Would you, could you, in the dark?
