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.
Given the prices that the cd sometimes goes for,you might be better off buying one of those usb turntable jobbies for about fifty quid.Then you can play all those other records that live in your loft,that you haven't told us about

A turntable jobby you say? (you need to say that in a Glaswegian accent like mine )
I don't have a great deal of records in the loft. Mostly B52s and Tenpole Tudor if I remember correctly. And a fantastic Russian band called Avia - no idea what happened to them.
Basically a USB turntable is a Turntable with a USB out that you can stick into your PC and record your records to MP3 (or whatever) format.
Actually you can do the same thing with you nice 1985 issue record player just by getting a cable to go from the headphones out port of the player into the line in of your PC - I've been doing it for ages.

Thank you, Maisey, for the hint ... I shall try that. Got most of my music on vinyl ...

By the way: "mod con" ??
If you need a more step by step guide to disitalising your vinyl let me know.
Yeah, I always liked this record. I really wished there'd been a couple of more tracks on it. It may be sacrilege to say it, but I much preferred it to Floodland. Sure, Lucretia was great but that other stuff... fortunately Vision Thing came and restored my faith

Some of us have never had either problem.
I actually find myself replaying it, which is no doubt in part due to its brevity - however, there are few things I feel like listening to more than once at a sitting, no matter how much I may enjoy them.
