FALAA B Sides

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.

surely that can't be right? Craig was still in the band right up until the RAH finale on 18th June 1985, yet NTTC was released on 8th March and clearly recorded long before then!

confused......

Yeah, he left, but came back. Then he left again for the final split.

He's done that a few times, and not just in the Sisters either.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

...after which the girls disbanded and were never heard of again.... Hussey tried to make it big in the world of transvestite cabaret (and failed), Adams set up a chain of high class yorkshire hair and beauty salons (which failed), Marx set up a fancy clothiers, specialising in paisley shirts (which failed); and the other one, the 'singer', who's name escapes me, simply sat on his arse doing bugger all....

Marx actually set up a highly succesfull yet short lived model agency promoting a certain Anne-Marie of Wakefield, unfortunately our scotty was too young to attend any of the photoshoots and promotional events, and is now left to console himself with pictures :wink: :twisted:

I think we're back to "who played bass".

How did the Blood Money Blast Analysis go, by the way?

still think it's four thick strings, twa pick-ups, Marshall stack (PiB will correct me), a spot of flange and a bloke strumming away...

You?

Difficult to tell - it's not the most prominent bass line. Bury Me Deep is almost certainly the Real Thing, so it's reasonable to suppose that this is too. Must compare it with some of the '97 live performances...

Hokay, just did some more listening to (1) remaster, (2) original vinyl and (3) various vinyl copies I've made on different TTs over time.

It's definitely the Real Thing. :D
