Paint My Name In Black and Gold: The Next Phase

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.

Got it earlier tonight - already about a hundred pages in. And yes - a larger volume than expected. Thoroughly enjoying it so far!

Wow - just finished it. Fantastic read. There’s a lot I didn’t know. I wonder how many demos never got leaked?

If you live in NL or Belgium you may have an email from Post NL about custom charges that you firstly need to pay - this very often goes into the Spam or Advert (reclame) file.

Belgium indeed. But nope, don't think I received anything. Just checked the spam filter, plenty of stuff there, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
(I did confirm my adress to Unbound a while ago)

I know some Belgian friends received their books last week already here, but I will just have to be more patient 8)

To anyone who bought access to the playlist..
I don't have a Spotify account, and don't want one, but can't open the playlist without an account. Does anyone know a way round this?
I have seen The Sisters at The Paradiso. I will die happy
With massive thanks to Ruffers for his company and help.

The playlist is just on Spotify. I use the free version i.e. I get advert interruptions etc. So no charge to hear the playlist ...

Apparently Ralph Waldo Emerson said "it is not the destination it is the journey" and many others of note have commented that the anticipation is better than the realisation.

So, I would just like to say a "Big Thank-You" to Amazon for increasing my anticipation by at least five weeks

My waiting should be "over by Christmas" - but History shows that not to be the most reliable of timescales

Arrived in Derry at the beginning of last week. The joys of Brexit. Mind you it costs the same to send an Abridged to Buncrana (20 minutes away) in Donegal as it does to Brussels or Berlin. The joys of the Royal Mail.

Cancel order and get from another supplier? In the 8085 FB groups people have done that and it arrived. In stock at WH Smith for £20 and Bookshop.org for a bit more. Rough Trade for £20 and say 5-10 days. (Foyles. Waterstones and Hive - need to restock like Amazon)

Hell, that is even worse !!! ... :eek: :eek: ... I really feel sorry for everybody outside the UK. And all that thanks to the idiot brexit.
It's interesting, though, and good to know what additional cost can be expected when ordering stuff from the UK nowadays... :innocent:

Anyway, I've collected the book from the shop on Monday ... :D ;D ... now looking for a time window to start reading it ... :D ...
