Into The Mess That Scalpels Make

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.

Long time lurker; first time poster. Yada, yada, yada...

I'm compiling a companion piece to 'Some Girls Wander By Mistake', similar to the 'Some Boys...' bootleg, but featuring all the 12"/CD releases from Body & Soul right through to Under The Gun; I've got thirty six tracks coming in at just over three hours of music - but I need a cover. I was hoping to replicate the SGWBM cover but with the text 'Into The Mess That Scalpels Make' and the dates 84-93.

I'm sure I read a thread on here a few years ago (see: longtime lurker) by someone who had the Sisters' head and star roundel as a high resolution Photoshop file and could add text along a circular path as required. Could anyone point me at that thread or someone who could do this for me?

Many thanks in advance.

Okay, "featuring *almost* all the 12"/CD releases"; I didn't include the 12" version of This Corrosion either.

Still lacking a cover image... :(

Cheers Husak. Ideally, something like 1500px square so that I could print it out at 300dpi but in truth, even a 600px version to match this would be fine.

Thanks again.

PS> Loving some of your shirts.

This kind of in response to this but does anyone have a copy of Some Boys Wander By Mistake? I'd also like a copy of this once it's been completed.

Thanks, and thanks.

I'm going to rip the final two Live Bootleg Recordings off the back of the Doctor Jeep limited 12" this weekend and then I'll attempt to normalise the volume via the ReplayGain tags; at the moment they're all over the place because the tracks came from so many different sources (all CD, except the Body and Soul B-sides and the two LBRs above).

Bah; I'd forgotten how poor quality those LBRs were...

as an aside, is that the name JR had on the page on his site where/when he was giving all his music away free?

Sorry; I've no idea who JR is...

Total running time has come out at 3:08:25 but it divides fairly nicely up into four discs (how quaint): tracks 01-10 (41:31) are nominally FALAA era, 11-20 (58:10) are all from the Floodland releases, 21-29 (48:25) are from Vision Thing and then 30-36 (40:19) are the more recent *cough* releases...

I also had a bit of a play with Husek's fantastic image, pasting the text into the SGWBM artwork I got from Album Art Exchange in order to make them appear as similar as possible: http://oneiros.co.uk/files/scalpels.jpg
