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.
And here's what CDUniverse have to say about F&L&A (emphasis added):
Sisters Of Mercy: Andrew Eldritch (vocals, guitar, keyboards, synthesizer, programming); That Guitarist (guitar, background vocals); Craig Adams (guitar); Gary Marx (bass). The Sisters Of Mercy's debut, 1985's FIRST AND LAST AND ALWAYS.......Fans might wish to note the album's 1992 remastering cleans up the sound quality significantly, but whichever version you hear, this album is an extraordinary document.
Oh dear.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

That is pretty shoddy, but at least they say:-

bought thru amazon, box is nice, fine print say "merciful release logo used by kind permission of The Reptile House Ltd." bottom of the back of box it say this.
vision thing skipping and misprint corrected.
i happy with it. and maybe sisters did sign new record contract?
well, i'm so glad i popped into Camden high st Music Exchange on me way home ~ picked up a brand spankin new shrik-wrapped MR set with a "Promo" sticker on it for a mere £15 (oh, if anyone in the vicinity of Norf Laaahndahn is interested, they had the individual digipaks for £7 each)
the full NeverLand is.......breathtaking. I'd donate a pinky to hear this performed live. ELEVEN minutes 45! Sublime, like Eldritch has wandered into John Carpenter's The Fog (in mirror shades of course).
the mastering sounds velly good ~ will have to headphone these suckers all next week
my iTunes say 11:59, and I coulda bought the box for fourteen quid on play.com months ago
Next!

...what do you expect?
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.
that 14 second section is an homage to John Cage's 4:33
