Fave Sisters re-recording

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.

Yeah, just been listening to a couple of my favorite re-recordings of the sisters i put on a tape for the car and couldn't choose between two :?

Alice-from the side b of Under the Gun in 93 (i think) and Emma- From the b-side of the 12 version of Dominion.

Alice is fantastic and a lot more thunderous on this version although the "DON'T GIVE IT AWAY!.........NOOOOOO!!!" bit i miss. It's a real gut wrencher when on at Rockworld 8)

Emma is the only studio version i've heard and i mentioned it coz i really love the Wake version, especially when he seems to fill up with tears on it. IT RULES!

Any classics i might have missed?

Alice 1993 was good purely for all the background effects and stuff that although not intrusive "fill in the gaps".

The only gripe I have about it is that the guitar line is played slightly different from the original.

I don't rate Emma from the Dominion 12". The Peel Session one was a lot better.

The original Body Electric is fantastic, the '84 version less so.

I'm the other way around, I love the original but hate the remake. Ofra Haza sucks and I'm so glad she's dead.
That's a mite strong Horizon, but I too like the original much better.
