Latest Sisters purchase

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.

Wo0t! Finally got my hands of a copy of Gift on CD.

I have it on vinyl 3 times and ALL of them have skips in Rain From Heaven. At last I'll be able to listen to it properly...

My latest is the "When You Don't See Me" German maxi-cd. Finally found a near mint one for less than $5.00!! It seems that cd is usually fairly high priced for some reason, so the family & I were happy to get this one. I know it's not much compared to what some of you buy, but we were missing it, so we love it! :D

@ ozpat...to me anything Sisters related counts! luckily the spuse feels exactly the same way & we've managed to get al the children into them also. One, big, Sisters loving family! Though I'm sure some of the kids wish at times that we hadn't chosen names from Sisters songs for them!

@josch...yes, it is little by little on cds. We're pretty good on vinyl & tapes as we started back in the early 80's. Just fell in love with this band the first time we heard them on the radio! btw, saw earlier in this thread that you recently got a Reading box set. Good one! Open it & play it!!!

@QuiffBoy...Lucretia Emma is fine, thank you, though she does prefer to use her middle name. :roll: What can I say, she looked just like me when she was born! Sometimes teenagers just don't get it! I think we covered the names fairly well, all in all. The second girl got Alice Jolene(AJ to her friends), followed by Andrew Taylor(I wanted to name him Von but the husband won out on this one) and then in '01 we had Marian Summer(we use her middle name simply because most people tend to mispronounce her first). As for anaconda...we had bought a yellow one back in '86 & named him Eldritch, but gave him away when the 1st baby came along...he was 10 feet long and she was 18 inches...do you see where this is going? :lol: Maybe we should've kept him...could've auctioned him off as a piece of Reptile House memorabilia, perhaps?

Perhaps skin the animal and sell it to Gary Marx as a guitar pattern / new handbag / new boots :lol:
