Alice 2004

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.

As I've stated already in this thread, I doubt there are only one hundred copies.
Got mine from Spirit this morning, though the b*stards at Royal Mail had conspired, despite cardboard reinforcement, to bend the cover round the edge of the record.
Sent Spirit some photos and conveniently enough they happen to have a couple of spare sleeves.
Incidentally, I paid £10 for mine which I think was reasonable.

Was it the vocal mix you heard on XFM?

Ah sorry, that was to Taylor.

Basically, the spirit and Juno copies appear to be identical.

Thanks for the heads up on this and also for the link to the UK retailer.

I got mine for Juno very quick deleveary.

btw there dirtyfunker@hotmail.com should anyone wanna contact them

the remix itself is pretty naff I wouldnt be suprised if dirty funker = god squad. the mixes are done in a similer way.

i think the juno ones are the same as the spirit, there BOTH unofficial anyway.

Its a pity they didnt use the alice 1993 version as a source rather than the 82 one.

best

Got mine the other day. I quite like the cover, probably more to do with the slightly misquoted lyrics printed on the rear cover. Haven't listened to it yet except the snippets off the Spirit website.

Haven't listened to my copy from Juno yet as it's about 100 miles away at my parents' place. Looking forward to checking it out tho. I doubt that it's official myself - as QB pointed out they stopped using Rise & Reverberate a long time ago, and if the lyrics on the sleeve are wrong too...

Only the spelling of tranks as tranqs and crawl instead of call.

They've cut it up and used the first verse twice.

I seem to recall Kylie having some success with a song that started out as a bootleg.

they stopped using the "caslon antique" font ages ago too.

judging by the website and the tickets for the summer tour earlier this year, the current font of choice is "arial narrow" with the kerning adjusted so the lettering is closer together...

You can click on the search button at the top of the screen, type 'Sisters of Mercy' then search and you should find it.

There are other sites that have the record as well...
