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.
Mine arrived, near Glasgow, today. Just a week to get here.... that's pretty quick!
So now I have the matching set. Hardback, paperback and the postcard flyer
Manchester 2020. With massive thanks to Ruffers for his assistance
The house was quiet, the workday was over...the package was waiting.
Shipped in perfect shape, bubble wrap envelope in the FedEx sleeve.
This is beautifully done, just holding the book...the soft covers are...soft! Overall, just visually the book is gorgeous...pages, photos, presentation.
I'm afraid of reading it all in one sitting.
If you are on this site...you need to get this book.
TREVOR - well done my friend. Am sure I'll send more such sentiments when I'm done.

Why is it always my Parcel that ends up stuck "In Limbo" for days on end.....
Great book and well worth the financial pain.... great photo's, anecdotes and a real sense for the sheer hard work that Andy put into the whole thing...Great insight to the band dynamics and what the other girls brought to the table
Any is something of a benevolent dictator...though sometimes omits the benevolent bit.....
looking forward to reading the next instalment.... hopefully it's titled Rock and Roll Part II !!!
Trevor sent the book incredibly quick - I thought it was the payment confirmation but it was also the shipping confirmation, just a few minutes after purchase!
Now however, it's stuck at the German customs in Frankfurt airport since this weekend. I hope they release it as soon as they've finished reading it

I will do a post or newsletter on the subject of shipping delays, but here I will just say that a handful of people have reported them. So if your book doesn't seem to have moved much beyond Jamaica (Queens), then you are not alone. When I shipped the hardcover I had this problem too and not one book was lost or returned to me. At this time I'd counsel patience because the USPS is still suffering from some COVID delays too.
Ordered in Dublin on Friday, arrived on my doorstep this morning - that's super quick. I prevaricated on purchasing because it IS expensive, but actually seeing the book in person, it's totally worth it.
First impressions are this is a truly fantastic book. Extremely impressed. Can't wait to get stuck in.
Von should endorse it. It opens up a window into the past of the band and explains why its foundation and roots were so important and have basically pushed the band into the mainstream.
