So he has probably all official stuff and bootleg stuff which excist? You know him? You saw his collection?
I know Robin from Sisters gigs, never saw his collection though... from what I've heard and seen on his site (Uncle Sister, which doesn't exist anymore) it must be really impressive ...
I have found this via HL: http://users.pandora.be/sisters/private/wedding.html

I am not posting it about his marriage (maybe Andrew was there), just to show that this is the largest collector (look at his badges, nice)... Now I understand too that he could take holidays to follow the shows... Look at that fence, it want it too......... http://users.pandora.be/sisters/roofs.htm

Amazing... :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Was it Alice or our daughter Ellice???

I know, that's what's left of his site. The fence is great indeed...

His intention was to make an online overview of his collection, not to show off, but to let people know what exists concerning Sisters memorabila. I know he started the site, but never finished it due to personal reasons.

Last time I saw him was in 2006, second Brussels show.

Strange that he had only 32 post here on HL... too busy by collecting probably. If he has 2 rooms full of sisters stuff that's the amount of a new house :roll:

I'm on this board a couple of years now, and the first few years I didn't post either. This had to do with the attitude of some of the people here... the bitching, flamewars etcetra were really not nice. Nowadays the atmosphere is better, although there are still a lot of pretentious w*ankers on this board...

Oh is that true Paul, as a new one didn't noticed that. No not nice, I have the impression too that is friendly these days, why should we fight? We all love sisters, don't we? :wink:

Yes, we do. Unfortunately there are also people who happen to love the Sisters AND take the p*ss out of other people. Fortunately HL is much friendlier nowadays. :D

UK Test Pressings of FALAA, This Corrosion (7" and 12"), Dominion (7"), Doctor Jeep (7"), Temple of Love 1992 (12")

USA Test Pressings of This Corrosion (12"), Lucretia (12") and Floodland

Belgium Test Pressing of Temple of Love (12")

I was fortunate enough to have seen Robin's collection once a couple of years ago. It was extremely overwhelming and impressive, let me tell you that! Testpressings, acetates, special boxed editions (official & bootleg stuff), posters, pics, tapes, etc...
What really impressed me most was the blueprint for Andrew Pinnell's Discography book, ready to go the printers... sadly that never happened. It was cool to see the thing actually existed :D :notworthy:

RadioJamaica, you saw the grave of toetanchamon... What happened to Robin, he stopped collecting (probably he had it all...)? How many years he spend to create the whole collection? Tx.

You make it sound like there's no life after the Sisters :lol:

I guess Robin stopped collecting in the way he did in the past. Sometimes he can still be found on Ebay, but I guess he takes it easier these days. A few years ago he let people know through the Dominion List that he had the intention to sell his collection (or a part of it). I contacted him because I was interested in some of his stuff, but then he decided not no sell anymore. AFAIK he didn's sell anything afterall ...
