It's a small world ...

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.

PAULINE MURRAY AND THE INVISIBLE GIRLS

"When original 1977 Manchester punk band Penetration split up in 1979, singer Pauline Murray immediately went solo, taking bassist/boyfriend Robert Blamire with her (still her "other half," 15 years later) and putting together a "dream team" backing group hard to beat. "The Invisible Girls" include the LP's legendary producer, Martin Hannett (who gives this 1980 LP his trademark Joy Division/first New Order LP sound; boy has that dated well), as well as Buzzcocks drummer extraordinaire John Maher (Penetration covered Buzzcocks' "Nostalgia" on their first LP, Moving Targets) and guest appearances from Durruti Column's Vini Reilly (who knew Penetration when he was in Manchester punk group the Nosebleeds), the then unknown That Guitarist (soon to head to U.K. fame, first in Sisters of Mercy and then his own the m*****n), and New Order leader Bernard Sumner. With this kind of unbelievable talent as support, Murray flourishes ..."

WELL I never knew that despite being a huge Penetration fan (keep the jokes clean please) and having the two Pene albums and this in the big vynyl box in the sky (attic).

I will also confess to have having a late 1978 photo album which on page one sports an 10 x 8 full colour photo of pixie Pauline from the Pene fan club signed 'To John ...love and kisses, Pauline xx'. Ah, those hazy days of unrequieted love and teenage fantasies ...

He looks like a random drugs tester who's wandered into the shot by mistake.

Have that EP somewhere on tape - and I believe it is up on eBay at the moment. It's interesting and the songs are surprisingly good.

No it's not on ebay and even if it was it's a load of old rubbish and you guys wouldn't really like it so it's best to leave it for a genuine fan rather than hike the price up by bidding for something you don't really want even if it was on ebay which it's not. Thank you.

It is a long story, let me condense it:-
Wake, Knocking On solo, Gatwick, very drunk, girlfriend, 2 weeks at Paliokastritsa on Corfu.

Does that go anyway to explaining, Boss?

Well QB, the very bottom line is being in a 'very altered state' with my Brixton Briefcase blasting out Wake as we queued for our flight. The G/f wasn't too pleased, but I was having none of that, I was off on my hols! :D
We parted 2 months later, but the se..... I'll leave it there.
