Body and Soul EP Question

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.

Hey, I was wondering has the Body and Soul 12 inch EP ever been on CD?

If not it should be. Afterhours is an underated gem, whilst I think the version of Body Electric blows the earlier single away.

Welcome to Heartland!

No, this 12" has not been released on CD in its entirety. Only the song Body And Soul was released on the A Slight Case Of Overbombing CD.

Body And Soul, Train And Afterhours appear on the excellent
silver disc "Some Boys Wander By Mistake". Unfortunately they forgot
about Body Electric 1984.

such a shame that the record company doesn't release a best of - as oppose singles - then they could throw in any of the bits that haven't yet moved to the digital age - afterhours being the single best justification for this in itself! I thought record company were suppose to expolit the artist!!!

Oh hang on, that was the problem in the first place wasn't it?! :oops:

I would have quite happily traded Long Train and SKOS (Early) for the Body & Soul B sides on the FALAA reissue. :(
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

The 3 B sides off this one are the main tracks. :(
You could probably also include the short version of ToL. :(
And the short version of NTTC. :(
And Sisterhood 7" versions. :(
