LOADS of 80s Sisters cuttings - what shall I do with them ?

Have you established a good reputation at HL and got some Sisters stuff to sell or trade with the community? Or are you searching for that elusive ultra rare live bootleg from 1988? Ever had a bad experience with a trader on Ebay? Let us all know here. Outdated threads will be purged over time.

I was clearing out the outhouse at my parents last week & I found my old art folder from ?*?? years ago . Inside it were piles & piles of Sisters news cuttings , ads , interviews etc etc dating from around 83 up to the Floodland/Corrosion/Dominion period . Photos , full page , double page , gig ads , gig / record reviews ....... allsorts . They are old and a bit tatty , some have blue tack stuck to the back :wink: I also have an old scrap book full of cuttings .

Here`s the thing .............. I`m not really doing anything with them & I haven`t been an obsessive collector since I needed the cash in the late 80s & sold all my non standard stuff ( inc 2 damage done`s & 1 body electric :P :D ) .
I was going to put them on Ebay , but then I thought about loyalty . So , here I am . I`m not bothered about getting money for them but I wouldn`t say no to cdrs/video or whatever (sisters/ghost dance/skeletal/violets/any 80s alt )
I reckon it would be better if someone could do something with them - maybe archive them / put them online or something .
I`m sure some of you will have seen some of the stuff , but theres loads of it so chances are theres stuff you haven`t seen too .
I`ll try to take some photos to show what there is over the weekend .

So what do I do with it ? any obsessives there ?

how do you grade obsessive Biggy :eek:

I don't think there are many out there who would say no if they were offered out.

Maybe Mr Quiffs is the fairest place for them to reside? Possibly he could upload them into that special place he has :wink:

Hi Biggy :notworthy:

I collect Sisters cuttings (anything and everything - From A3 posters to 1 line reviews!) - And would very much like to add yours to my collection - Would that be possible ?

I have, for a few years - intended putting a Sisters cutting resource on to the web - purely for obsessives (like myself) - in the process of sorting out the webspace and the HTML

Check your PM's ;D

Biggy,

if you gave them to me. i'd make a big pyre and burn them KLF stylee as an art statement.

i mean they must be worth a million quid to some of the people on this list :wink:


infact, i could make a life size Von and do the whole Wickerman thing :von: :innocent:

i've got web space and could probably be talked into scanning them. Postage to South Africa would probably exclude me though.

well, i have no Sisters-related website.
neither big collection.
but if there are some items everybody else already has or doesn't need - it's very probable that mr. pikkrong doesn't have it yet and is ready to pay or offer something...
