It was 30 years ago today...

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.

Would be a good time for that perfect Anniversary Edition of the album we've all always wanted. You know, 3 discs...complete set of bonus tracks (including Body And Soul EP in full) on disc 2, and a fully restored DVD of Wake on the 3rd disc.

One can dream....

And to extend the dream a little more:

The Wake DVD should include the three missing tracks also.

...add a 4th disc of demos and the Peel session and I think we'd all spooge in a quite undignified manner. :D

By some strange coincidence I am looking for cd versions of this: http://sisterswiki.org/Ghost_Rider as I really like the version of Train on my 7".

It turns out the tracks are from this: http://sisterswiki.org/Mon,_11-Mar-1985.

Spooky.

Thanks for reminding us of the anniversary, @MH, and for the cool tour ad, @spiggymr7. And it seems like thirty years of a feeling of slightly underwhelming anticlimax. Still the best of the three albums though.
