What is the rarest Sisters of Mercy item ?

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.

White. The same "white" in the scan (It's yellowed with age).

Yeh it was black/white. Faded from being on my wall for a few years. Mine cost £1 or £2 in around 1987. The shop had a big pile of them so I'm guessing they were reprints.

Vinyl addiction ? the only way to check is that if it's a matt poster is an original if glossy finiture it's a reissue

It wasn't vinyl addiction, it was a little poster shop at the opposite end of town. It wasn't glossy, but I doubt it's an original. Who cares anyway, I don't.

In your discography you forgot-

MR1 01/80 The Impossible Dreamers - Books 7"
MR2 ??/80 The Impossible Dreamers - Ready In The Rhythm Section LP

Although the jury is still out on whether it's the *same* Merciful Release or just an odd coincidence.
