Should I....?

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 already have the FLA CD (the old one) and Some Boys Wander By Mistake. Apart from the early version of Some Kind of Stranger what are the benefits of buying the new version. I often hear long tales that the original FLA was much better than the CD version, but for someone who does 'n't really notice or bother about the finer nuances/tones of a Pop CD (albeit one by the Sisters) is it worth me buying it?

By the way is Some Boys.... an official release? What's the story?

A Sisters album is always worth buying IMHO.

Some Boys... is a bootleg.

The problem with Some boys is that they just transfered the vinyls to CD, no more. No mastering, no cleaning, no nothing. Hence the not-so-great sound. In that sense I'm very interested in the remastered FALAA.

Thanks, that's one reason to buy.

Now, are there anymore reasons (apart from licking AE's balls - crazy fans).

Apparently they have nice booklets.
FALAA has the b-sides.
Fudland has Never land (full length).
VT is the least exciting of the three I'm afraid.

But I'll get them all nonetheless. 8)

There is Some Pats Wander By Mistake, search the weeds, if nowt shows, ask me.
I do have a real big backlog of goodies to send out, so this could take a coupla months.
But I do deliver.

eventually :D
