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.
Hey there. Was just looking at this Andrew Liles FALAA tribute thing and on his site he's got a pic of himself standing in what looks like the same spot the Sisters took those Leeds cemetery 1984/1985 pics I've seen on bootlegs and online over the years. It got me wondering if there might be other photos from that same photo shoot that might be floating around? I just peeked at the 'photo gallery' here and google and see a couple that I guess could be?
Here's the photo I'm referring to:
These two look like they could have also been taken that same day (but looks like eldritch has different shades on and marx different shirt). Everything else looks similar but who's to say since attire was probably pretty consistent day to day back then for the whole band.
anyone know if there are other images from that Leeds cemetery photo session?
except for that one of eldritch only on stage, I know that's made the rounds. Otherwise, none of these look familiar at all. Can't believe you pinpointed the date too! "Oct 26, 1984"

Too funny! My eye has gone toward those details in the background over the years but I always thought it was like an ornate iron gate on the border of the cemetery or something. Student flats! OMG
I can never get these link things to work. Just copy and paste into your browser.
Incredible! Who is this pic? I'm guessing some of you guys from the forum have visited this cemetery? Easy to find this monument? Look for the student flat, I guess lol.
what is the earliest known pics of the girls.. I love the early ones of the girls on tour (I think it's Germany) with leather jackets/ramones type of look

This was The Marching Men, we took this (and a few more) as promo shots a few years ago. Yep, it's pretty easy to find.
