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 guess they rather think of the long term sale here. The Sisters are a legend like, let´s say, AC/DC Motörthead, Ramones etc. They will still attract custtomers in five years to buy the reissues at nice price level.

Anybody else notice that - according to that link - VT has lost SF (live) and gained More (extended)? And that the track numbers for FALAA are wrong (unless "Disc 1" is an outtake from the sessions that we've never heard of before)?
My discography-fu is not what it could be, but did a "More (extended)" ever even exist? Not "power mix" or "groove mix" or whatever, but just plain old "extended".
If these are mistakes, then surely doesn't it leave open the possibility of other mistakes being also made?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

the long version of "more" is the standard album / 12" version
there's a "radio edit" that chops all the nonsense at the end (thank the lord!), but thats it afaik. no "extended" one

Yeh, that's the way I thought it was too. If this is correct, and there is no "extended" version, then how much is play.com's tracklisting to be trusted?

I guess that we can be a trainspotting bunch and pick up multiple copies of the same thing.
Huh, can't blame 'em, for what's worth. Let's wait, maybe fairly good sales (hardcopies as well as iTunes) might put one company or another into re-thinking about signing the Sisters. Gosh, that sounds naive, I know, but then, is all hope lost?
I for myself will go for the "Floodland"-Reissue only, maybe "FALAA".

Well, in the week when Axl Rose announces an actual release date for Chinese Democracy, stranger things could happen.
Hey, relax, it's got Never Land (full length) on it!
Party on Dudes!
