Not seen this picture before...

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 was looking through the Sisters photos on their Last.fm entry and came across this odd one...

Image

I'm guessing the year is 1985 (velvet jacket, pre hat) but does anyone know any more information on it? For some reason it just struck me as a rather strange photo of our fearless leader (could be the smile!)

:? :von:

Looks decidedly Aerosmith-ish to me.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

16.05.84 then, for clarity?

i've got some colour prints (old fashion style photos) which i'd been lead to believe were also from that gig. in mine though (there's only 3 of eldritch, 3 of the others) he's wearing a glove on the left hand (can't see his right hand.) the rest of the outfit's the same.

coincidentally i have finally got a scanner with which to share these pix with HLers, along with a dozen from leicester 28/3/85. watch this space. (well, somewhere near here.)
Well I was handsome and I was strong
