If you could steal one thing from Von's basement....

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.

A member (ex member?) here bought it; there was discussion & pics a few years back but haven't been able to find them.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

A French girl bought it as I recall.

Whilst it was EBay, it wasn't for any other reason than to assist Oscar, or as some named him, flipper boy.

I bought a few things, but gave most away

Like most people I would look for the recent recordings of their continual studio output - they'll probably be stored on 8-track cartridge

I would also look for his voice. He's lost it somewhere and here is as good a place to start as anywhere. He could then have it back in time for October.

Right, while you've all been discussing it, I've actually been to Von's basement and cleaned it out. The bidding starts at 99p.

Now that's just ridiculous, Andrew Eldrtich has fantastic voice, strong, clear, like Mustang V8 with broken muffler. Like Lord of Thunder eating gravel and drinking pure petroleum. All you have to do it's open your ears and your soul.

There are three possibilities

1. Chris was joking.
2. When Pat sold his suit, Von bought it in incognito.
3. Pat actually never sold it, it has always been in Von’s wardrobe.

;D

Would that suit actually fit Simon Pegg?
