Heartland Magazine

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.

I know there is some sort of fanzine/magazine of which one issue would appear every year, and it ran in the early nineties or so. I think only 5 issues were made. It featured interviews and info about the sisters, in a story form, unlike article per article, it was more of a flowing text with some nice images.

I know my uncle has a few in his cupboard, and I read one of them about a year ago, still need to read the other ones.

Anyone any clue what I'm rambling about precisely? :/

Now, you see, my immediate response to this would have been "The magazine you're thinking of is Razzle", but that wouldn't have been helpful.

You might be thinking about Underneath The Rock, the inhouse magazine of the Sisters Information Service, available to members until about 1997 when the prohibitive cost of producing it caused its demise.

I do recall seeing something called Heartland, A5 size booklet, came out every so often, haven't seen one recently so you might be thinking about that. IIRC it was crafted by someone who claimed to have "inside" info about the girls, but (I think) he was exposed as a phanboi. Probably still hangs out on Poison Door.

So I think I know what you're rambling about, but I don't have any copies of it (if that was the other part of the question).

I read this one. There isn't much more to find on the internet except for this picture, but I'll take a look again at the books when I'm at my uncle's. I'll take pics/scans.
