How do you take your "Logic"?

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.

It's well enough known that the word "Amphetamine" was removed from the song title on the outer record sleeve only, at the record company's insistence. Von himself has always introduced it as "Amphetamine Logic", and the 2006 reissue has restored the full name. Even the slightly-less-boring FAQ confirms that the song's real name is "Amphetamine Logic". But a lot of folks still call it "Logic", which is bugging me right now (yeah, I'm at home with man-flu and bored). So is it just pure habit, or is there a personal preference for calling it "Logic"? Bored people wanna know!
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Get well soon again! :wink:
You could have added In Fact I Mean....as the Japanese title not being sure there are HL-ers from that part of the world.

I "voted" without simply because it has become a habbit I guess.

With for me - just cause that's how it was meant to be. But when referring to it I am guilty of just saying "Logic" cause it's less to type. :wink:

Somewhat off topic - for some reason I can't ever think of the song without remembering the intro for it, on the Disguised in Black boot: "This is for the students in the balcony - it's called Amphetamine Logic - it's about - logic" :lol: :notworthy: Always loved it.

It says "Logic" on the tin.

"Logic" without Amphetamine is illogical, Captain. :von:

I seem to recall having a minor disagreement with the young man Dark over this a couple of years ago.

Always Amphetetamine for me.

Surely the question should be: 'How do you take your Logic?'

'logic' just for clarity & brevity - so, with amphetamines. i often refer to it as 'speed' or 'more speed' when i need to refer to it at all - like naming tracks for computer.
