Known Unknowns

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.

Do you guys have any idea what "rare trades"are actually left ?
the elusive vision thing mixes, rare gigs, vids etc...
I was thinking we might be able to unearth a few gems.

Istanbul 2006 amongst others from that year :)

From the early days, there's a lot of good quality stuff which is in wide circulation in bad quality.

And Deinze 1984 complete is pretty rare...

yep, but hopefully the truth is still out there.....

the point of this is that possibly someone might own stuff that they dont know is rare and share it, or that some of the magic circle trading/hoarding types might put something up in part exchange for something else,or whatever, who knows, worth a try. :roll:

Lack of product AND cars seem to infiltrate every topic on here, don't they.

I like the sound of the good quality early stuff - but the rarest trade I've got is a copy of RAH85. Ah well.

:innocent: :lol:

The Sisters played Darien Lake Ampitheatre? Blimey, i've a Metallica boot from there, and if they played it, it must be a huuuge place. Cool.

Ez, if we're still 5th from bottom by xmas, what say you stick all your rarities in the Weeding section? :lol: :twisted:

I just trimmed out the off-topic stuff into a new thread.

One I heard of: There apparently exists a recording of the first gig that's more than just "Good Things".

i'd be curious as to whether you have any of the following dei. they were offered to me by someone on another forum who was after some ministry and skinny puppy - and other general industrial noise stuff - demos and soundboards i happen to have aquired over the years.

the source [never confirmed who] said they'd never been traded but i a got a MP3 sample to confirm sources and they were a) different b) so good they might be MX. Sadly i got too keen, the PM's dried up :cry: :cry: :cry:

Notts 2000, York 2001, Leeds 2001, Leeds 2005 [JW + von and slade chatting after the gig]

if you do have any of them PM and we may be able to work out something on Orlando/ New York or Istanbul [I'm not allowed to swap any of the others :? :cry: :evil: ]

PIB: No, i don't suspect i have any of those :(

Generally, though Skinny Puppy traders are even harder to find, and deal with, than Sisters traders :F Or maybe i still hang around wrong places...in both cases.

How about the videos for Glauchau 97, Offenbach 96, and Rendsburgh 97.. those clips that were made briefly available on YouTube.

Also, the video of Philadelphia 1999, and there are full recordings of Toronto 2006 (better source), and Montreal 2006, as well as Buffalo 1991 and Toronto 1991 (and an alternate version of Montreal 1991).

Cheers,
B
