Body Electric Acetate

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.

Yes a demo tape. Perhaps made from the acetate.

No idea where it is. In a box somewhere

Wasn't it decided 'they shall not pass' had the best version?

^ "They shall not pass" offers us the best possible mastering as the CD pressing from 1988 trumps SGWBM.

On the other hand the 1985 LP affords us the opportunity to get an HD rip from vinyl that beats the CNT 7"

If, as Dave points out, Peel played an acetate with a unique version then it's possible that it is on the record that the discogs link above points to.

Further, the 'Kenny Giles' CD includes a variant of Adrenochrome. If the acetate has a unique variant of BE then the chances for the flipside being that Adrenochrome version may be pretty good.

But I don't have a box in the backroom with SISTERS acetates so I can't check this myself.
