Sisters Leeds 2011 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.

Hi

I had to, at the last minute, cancel a 3 day West Yorkshire experience in Feb 2011.

I had intended to see The Sisters beat combo.

To apply salt to my wounds I have been browsing thro the reviews of the shows, some people mention postcards (which for a King's ransom i subsequently obtained) but also a poster commemorating the two XXX shows.

Anyone know where a scan of it can be found and/or if ever seen for sale?

There were no XXX Roundhouse posters/ prints on my last visit to Sisterland.

Thanks in advance for any links/pics/heads up

Sean

The posters all sold out pretty early on the night, there were posters in Brussels but don't know how many gigs had them after that.

But there are no pictures on the wiki.. I'd take a pic of mine but it has a Cure Albert Hall poster on top of it in the frame now

Aren't they all bootleg posters?
The font's all wrong.
They're nice & all that, but they don't look official.
Cheers.

There were also posters in Tilburg which look slightly different,

but the font is not 100% Caslon on them either ... :wink: ...

I thought they were official until I saw the Leeds one on my wall for the umpteenth time.
Then the font really started to make me wonder.
If they were sold at the merch stand, then I guess they must be then.
Cheers.

I should imagine they were done by the promoters, none have the proper typeface. The Leeds one was sold at the merch stall, the Glasgow one on ebay & the London one was on display at the venue

Isn't the proper typeface whatever they issue to promoters or put on merchandise? This particular typeface has been used by them before: link

Were they actually used to promote the gigs? I thought they were sale only :?

Yes, the London one was on display outside the venue during the lead-up to the gig.
