If You Could Wave A Magic Wand.....

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.

Toss-up between War on Drugs and Romeo Down.

Probably giving it to Romeo Down because it seems there's some manner of curse whenever I hear a good-quality recording his screams go into full-on muppet mode, bless him.

Crash And Burn/War On Drugs as the B-side.

Romeo Down is tantalizing, especially as I don't think I've ever really heard a good recording of it, just potential of what it could be. Hearing real bass on a Sisters track is always nice, of course. I'd play it myself if the need ever arose. :wink:

...'course, I've thought of covering the whole damn thing, just to "test the equipment in my studio" or some lame excuse. Never mind that it gets used regularly to record people other than myself. :lol:

I would, on a more realistic approach make Eldtrich release the 1990 recordings from Hamburg that CT did and the 1992 Sabine livingroom recording that Eldtrich did.
