Versions

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 have the 1984 re-recorded version of Body Electric listed as the "24 Track Version". What does that mean? (or is it just a weird typo).

24 track recording studio (original was 8).
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Definitely different recordings. The music on the TC version may have been a remix, but the vocals are certainly brand new.

Do the two Never Land's count? That's probably the only remaining song that exists in two radically different versions (discounting remixes and the like).

The vocals for Colours on Gift are by one of the sisterhood and the one on TC single and Floodland CD are (obviously) Andrew.

Is Never Land on the Floodland vinyl different to the one on the CD?

I mean the full-length version. Otherwise, the standard versions are the same.

Neverland on all the cds & lps is 2.46, except on the cassette which is 2.44 and the Canadian lp which has it as 2.37 (but we all know that sometimes the Canadian timings can be wrong!)

As i recall, Lucas Fox, the Motorhead drummer is the vocalist on Gift.
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?
