How rare/valuable are these ?

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.

Bought the two records today, got both for 16 euros:

The Sisters of Mercy - Live at the Brixton Ace / London 19.6.83 (SM 2389)
The Sisters of Mercy - Black Dominion (BD 359)

How rare and valuable are these ?

Whatabout my earlier find Live in Amsterdam 1984 (TSP 104) ? I paid 15 euros for it.

All in vinyl of course. I would never sell these but I'd just like to know did I pay good price and how rare are these things.

Also, a question about Floodland and Under The Gun.

On Floodland cover a sticker reads "Includes Lyric Sheet (MR441L 242 232-1)" and a few sellers refer to this version as "limited edition". Was there ever a version with no lyrics sheet ? All the records I've seen have contained the lyric sheet.

Under The Gun 12" has a sticker too which says "includes FREE POSTER limited edition (MR59T)". Was there a version with no poster and if so, is this version with a poster of any value ?

All black except Live in Amsterdam is coloured marble or sumtin like that, looks weird and cool.

edit: Live at Brixton seems to be dark blue. When I first looked at it I thought it was black but with the lights on I noticed it to be dark blue.

Also the record does not have a label (nor do Black Dominion) and the inside sleeve art and text is actually been hand written and drawn. :eek: Good job on the SOM logo :lol:

Two scans available: http://shagriml.stormloader.com/sisters.htm

I like this bootleg. It's so raw... and before Jolene, Andy says "last time ever" :lol: Also Valentine sounds a somewhat detuned.

First pressing of Floodland comes with limited numberd back cover and gatefold lyric sheet.
Later pressing comes with the lyric sheet but is not limited or numbered.

Under the Gun 12" UK press is limited with poster, German press is without poster.
And of course it has a value, it's a Sisters record.

While we're on the subject, does anyone know what the 12" interview picture disk is worth? Andrew (and Patricia) in a studio talking to someone who speaks english with a german accent, must have been around the time of Floodland, talks about the album, the issues with TSOM/Sisterhood names, not liking London, that sort of thing.

No idea. I bought it for a fiver. But it seems a little warped, and it doesn't sound right at 45 or 33. :urff:

Full scan ? I've only got a A4 scanner. Can't fit a 12" there. There's not so much to see, the image just goes a bit longer...
