Scandinavian tour 1985

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.

The trio of gigs in May 1985 in Gothenburg, Oslo and Stockholm are the subjects of my latest TSOM blog posts, and might be of interest to HLers who enjoyed the Hussey era.

This is the latest one, Stockholm, and it contains links in its intro to the other two. Thanks to @drsisters for his considerable help with these posts. :notworthy: https://sistersfan.blogspot.co.uk/2017/ ... -17th.html

And He seems quite of knowledge about the quality in Sisters bootlegs :eek:
The statement for "No time to cry" against "Opus Dei" seems too powerful :roll:
Being would love to hear that he uses the Sisterswiki for reference ;D :notworthy:

I do enjoy these glimpses in to the early days.

It is so good of you to take so much effort and care.

Many thanks.

Nikolas Vitus Lagartija: Wow. Have to say all of the photos and clippings from your collaboration with hardcore collectors make for an extremely well rounded and in depth/breadth read. Just keeps getting better and better. Kudos!
