Under the Gun...poster

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 didn't the original copies of the Under the Gun singles come with a poster that was included in the whole package. I think some dude at the store took it out, kept it, shrink wrapped the damn CD and sold it to me. Good price but I'm sure there was a poster that came with it. Then again these record dealers will tell ya anything. Still I'm sure. Or am I? :?

The 12 inch single came with a poster. I don't think the CD did.

That's Okay, i'd do the same. I just tape up the damn thing if it rips, but high enough not too, then again i did have the Reptile House poster for 15 years and it got pretty thrashed. So it's now in the vaults. After the fact. I don't seal up much at all unless it's really worth it to me. Like buttons especially, i'm a buttons freak. Haven't opened the 09 North American Tour button package yet. All my t shirts are grey now. That's just pride.

Temple Of Love 1992 had a poster with the 12" too, as did the limited 12" of Dr Jeep and the Dominion 12" box. No other posters that I can think of although various other releases came with other kinds of freebies.

Wasn't there a poster with the original vinyl release of Floodland as well?

Best of all - the 12" of When You Don't See Me came with a free patch!

(Incidentally, all my 12" posters of adorned my walls at some stage or another & UTG is still up but now mounted in a fetching frame rather than bluetacked! Collectors be damned!!!)
