How fake can it be?

Have you established a good reputation at HL and got some Sisters stuff to sell or trade with the community? Or are you searching for that elusive ultra rare live bootleg from 1988? Ever had a bad experience with a trader on Ebay? Let us all know here. Outdated threads will be purged over time.

sometimes, I do. That´s right.

But most time I don´t.

No wife... :notworthy: Oh, I am such a happy camper since the day she left
no kidds :roll:
80 hours of work in the week :urff:
No alcoholics,
nearly no hollidays
a small flat with low rent, not a house
an very old used car
nearly no other expensive hobbies

just this fu***ng bl***y collecting thing.

But after all, not that expensive, I would say...

And I would pay money if this voice in my head would stop talking to me about buying this fake things....

:innocent:


That ís enough about me. Things you never wanted to know. Now back to topic.

The tracklist looks similar like....Arg, I can´t fetch it.

To be serious: I know (knew) this feeling about buying everything that has the words "(The) Sisters Of Mercy" on it... Nowadays I focus myself more on certain items.

if, say just by chance... some real fans made nicely designed 'media' by The Sisters from a really good existing bootleg would any of you out there buy it?

Seconded ... things like this are being done all the time.
And there are some nice things that could have been done
and haven't yet ... or should not be done, either ...

Anyway, if you could manage to have
The Sisters commit whatever sort of official approval and/or contribution ... ;D ...
the thing might work (and possibly develop) in three directions ...


Credit Card ? :urff: :urff: :urff:

Because some people will pay for anything crap if it comes in an exciting-looking box - just ask Steve Jobs.

:von: could probably make a killing doing "celebrity endorsements" for this shit, probably a lot easier than finding a new label or going to the effort of releasing new material. I fully expect to see him appearing on TV in the immediate future in this sort of thing... :roll:

Who can think of someone with:
a) presumed access to a large archive of Sisters material
b) no visible means of support other than a tour every couple of years
c) no apparent interest in making any new records (or the revenue this might bring)
