Gift.

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.

Just picked up the Rough Trade rerelease of this on CD.

Seems that the Sisters have always had the same problem, one of the contributers is a certain Alan Vela :urff:

Same typesetter or just covering all their bases?
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

While weare here, could someone point me in the best direction for Suicide, is there a best of? or a seminal album, I'm not really one for downloading so an artifact would be nice. :)

Thanks for the heads up stufarq!

Then you probably have the original 1986 release and the Rough Trade relelease from 1989, would that be correct?

The first Suicide album (simply called "Suicide") is a very good place to start.

It's a classic album.

My guess is that they found the edition with the typo and created a link for anyone who didn't know and tried looking up that name.
