all 3 albums reissued with bonus tracks.

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.

Should be interesting if we get the "good" versions of these songs for the first time on CD or if it's the rubbish released in the early nineties (again). Or if this "re-release" is another hoax...

What label owns all the Sisters' back catalogue, released the original albums, continues to release the albums, and is (if they're legit) going to release these ones?

Some kind of stranger (early)

Does anyone happen to know what the last track might be exactly? I don't recall hearing any early demo versions of this song from Strawberry Studios?
Gary Marx said he was surprised it hasn't been circulated on any bootlegs :wink:



Maybe the new product coming out is the long anticipated DVD :D

What a rather nice surprise on a Thursday evening!

Quibbles:
1) Are we going to get the REAL FALAA this time?
2) Where the f--k are Body & Soul, Body Electric, Train and Afterhours?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
3) Jumping on the "seminal 80s darkly-hued band in remastered-special-extended-edition-with-bonus-tracks-and-rarities-some-previously-unavailable shock" thing years after all other record labels merely serves to underline Von's opinion of his erstwhile record label.
4) For crying out loud, give us a proper "Demos and Rarities" CD!
5) Do the honourable thing and give us a "Complete BBC Sessions" CD as well.
6) No SSV? For shame... :twisted:

That is old news I'm afraid, First and Last and Forever was first released by Cleopatra in '93.

I was under the impression that the live versions in question were already on single B-Sides from the specific era? If so, Warner probably owns them anyway :|
The only ones that haven't been released on singles are "early" SKOS and full-length Never Land.

F&L&A Remaster of a remaster?!

Also, when was Emma released? shouldn't that be on F&L&A with Long Train on Floodland? :?

Nah, Emma was a B side of Dominion whereas Long Train originally came out as a free flexi with one of the FALAA singles (can't remember which).

Emma was first recorded during FALAA times but never released. The official release came as a B-side to Dominion. Hence its rightfull place on the Floodland disc I guess. :wink:
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

Yup, it was recorded a number of times I think.

The Dominion B side version is obviously the definitive take though, at least in my opinion.

Re: Never Land, I wonder is that the Floodland demo version that's been widely circulated, or is it another full version that never made it out?

I pray to God that if it is the demo version, it has been sonicaly cleansed.

I think no-one would want to risk to put it on sale that way :eek: Unless if they'd fancy to kill the artist off :urff:

Anyway, I'm thinking positive today and loving the thought ;D

thesistersofmercy.com FAQ wrote:There is no other version of 'Never Land' (apart from demo versions and "full" versions edited together by bootleg merchants). It's called 'Never Land (a fragment)' to reflect the way the song sounds: overheard and fondly detached. It's really not got so much to do with the (literal) fragmentation and moral issues of Goethe's Faust ...honest.
hmmmmm. :?: :?: :?:

1984 Peel Session, then as a Demo along with Knockin' on Heaven's Door for use as B-sides or maybe even a covers EP :?: , finally re-recorded in 1987 - live vocals from the Electric Ballroom in Camden ( :von: on stage complete with lights and smoke but no audience or band :lol: )
