National Album Day Floodland

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.

Anyone in need of a black ice galaxy re-issue?

Nope, but only because I don't own a record player. That does look quite groovy.
If you were asking my opinion then I would say delete that.

Some would argue that all records, by design, are groovy.

I wouldn't want Floodland on vinyl because you don't get the full length This Corrosion

Flood II and Driven Like The Snow are also edited, though the full length This Corrosion is not available on any format of Floodland.

I've the Mofi version which does have the full-length tracks, as well as some interesting/unique mixes. This one looks nice and it's always good to buy a Sisters record.

It seems difficult to get the full-length tracks on streaming services these days, that's something that needs to be corrected.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Spotify has " The Floodland collection " that has the 9.30 ish version of This Corrosion as well as the 8 minute plus 12" version. It also has the splendid 12" version of Lucretia

Yes, but short versions of Flood 2 and Driven. :(

Buy this if you want the CD mixes on vinyl.

Pricing is wild though.

I also have the Mofi version which sounds superb, but I do love the 'Smokey' vinyl look, it looks awesome on the BBC sessions vinyl.
