Latest Sisters purchase

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.

The original tape 1 had KOHD listed as Rome (2nd May 85), not sure if that's the one?

I was watching that :lol: (just out of interest)
I've just had a look through all my merch flyers from the UTR years and it's not listed on any of them.
I have seen The Sisters at The Paradiso. I will die happy

I was watching that, I've seen one before and I am pretty sure it's official, although I don't have my stash of old merch leaflets to hand. A few year's ago I would certainly have been bidding against you, but I've been trying to be better. My collection is probably half what it used to be, at one point it was over 80 shirts/ hoodies. That said I'll hopefully be picking up the new tour short next week.

For what it is worth, I do remember the design being official merch. Maybe I am even right?

maybe just maybe you got one of the last to be got, if reports from Glasgow are anything to go by. More likely I guess that they simply sold out of all the stock in the building, and there's still a good few boxes piled up in a tour van, awaiting myshopification.

It is a beauty though innit 8) :notworthy:

Just got a long sleeved top off eBay I've never seen about. Slightly waffle type weave, described as thermal. Embroidered new logo on front with the word SISTERS. Reptile House label and seems as new. Embroidery slightly not straight with the weave so dunno, a test? Love it.

I used to have one of these, they were sold on the 2009 "Mechanised" tour if memory serves, as a "Thermal something or other"
Hang on, let me have a look. yes according to my old thread, 2009, then 10 and 11.

Very nice! Was that the one going for seventy five notes? Had it been a medium I'd have bought it a month or so back. My search goes on. Seems the Mechanised tour came with a ton of great merch.

I got First And Last And Always and A Slight Case Of Overbombing on CD today!! I was surprised they had First And Last And Always because the guy at the record store said they didn't have it on record or CD, but I looked at the CDs and there it was. I just need Vision Thing and then I'll have all their studio albums.

Top night.

Cracking songs, old and new. Some fabulous tales of his Hull days.

A good turn out and great mutual respect between him and us.

Young Jez in attendance.

Should do another one in Leeds.
