Vinyl Re-releases

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.

They wouldn't do it, if the records didn't sell ...
and of course, the words "2018 Remastered Version" sound quite tempting.
And wasn't that the only record not reissued as a box set ...
Will wait and see ... 8) ...

Presumably repressings of the box-set versions. I wonder if they'll do F&L&A in a standard sleeve? Looking forward to Overbombing, don't actually own that on vinyl!

One thing I personally think would be good would be a box set of all singles on CD, similar to The Clash’s. After all, Body and Soul has never received a CD release and the 1984 version of Body Electric is usually left off any compilations or boots.

Anyone know which mixes of FALAA were released this time?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I've not downloaded it yet but it is available to listen to on Spotify, and they still have the old mastering up there too. It sounds like they added more bass but not any additional compression. Personally I think the added bass inherent to this series doesn't work on the post-F&L&A tracks. It muddies the sound somewhat, especially on the Floodland songs. I also noticed that the stereo image seemed a bit off on Temple Of Love 1992, but that was just from comparing the two versions on Spotify.

The original CD sounds absolutely fine, so not sure if the new download is warranted. I do have the LP on order though, as it's the only original I don't have.

Hmm, it is just me, or does Lucretia sound a bit "Dream Theater-esque" on Spotify...

I... I don’t even know what this means. I know what the words mean. But when you put them in this specific order I am confused.

How about these words in this order:

If you play Lucretia of ASCOO on Spotify, you get Pull Me Under by Dream Theater instead.

Wow, you're right!

Mislabelled track.
