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.

Can't win, can you? :lol:

The logo/MR stuff is an integral part of the artwork, and to not use it is to destroy the package. I'd personally assume that use of the MR logo is part of the contract, which is - of course - still in force for past releases. I could be wrong, but that's what I reckon.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

You'll probably just be able to watch it on your computer, which isn't strictly interactive, I'd say...

Just had a seriously moving experience:
I have listened to both my Re-releases I bought-well, yesterday.
After all those years, I love every note of those songd. That´s what I call a happy relationship with my fav band!
Floodland. No need anymore how absolutely great the full version is, the rawness of the sound even gives it a natural touch, beyond clinical perfection.
Marvelous!
Then FALAA (I was looking forward to typing FAAA here, but they got it right on my copy, it seems I won´t get a Visoin Thing either when the time is..):
I think the audio quality is audibly better than on the old CD version.
If I would write down all I think of at the moment, I´d end up writing a novel. I´m really moved after 3 hours of listening.
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
(I really chose a good band for my personal fandom!)
;D

Seconded eotunun :notworthy:

Good old Father Christmas bought me both the re-issues I wanted.
Great to hear FALAA as it used to sound(But minus the pops and hisses of vynyl) and Floodland,with the addition of the stunning long version "Neverland" and a proper version of "Emma", is f**king fantastic.It really has given me a whole new outlook on Floodland and I have to concede that it is The greatest album ever made.Yep even better than Elizium (Sorry Carl).
The photographs of God I bought have almost faded away

Good to see the Never Land (full length) is still working its majesty. :D

Hi folks-

Forgive me if the answer to this question is somewhere in the previous 24 pages of posts in this thread, but have they now fixed the skipping in the live version of "Something Fast" on the "Vision Thing" UK reissue? Is it yet worth me buying copy number three..?
