Forty years ago tonight...

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.

... TSOM were originally due to have shared a stage with both The Birthday Party and Southern Death Cult (a non-event covered on the latest post on my TSOM blog https://sistersfan.blogspot.com/2022/04 ... y-and.html.

This got me thinking - what has been the best line-up TSOM has been part of during their 40+ years of live shows?

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Arigato Nikolas for still doing Your Blog. I suppose much was said with recent books but You still find some gaps to fill.

Thank you! I took a break for the blog whilst awaiting publication of the excellent biographies by Trevor and Mark, but am back to researching the trainspotter detail of old releases and gigs. I should have a post about the cancelled Temple of Love tour up in about a week's time. I already have quite a bit of info, but if anyone has any info about that cancelled UK tour in the Autumn of 1983, please get in touch!
