First and Last and Always 40th Anniversary: What Do You Expect?

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.

I'm a bit more optimistic that we'll definitely get something, on the basis that we have done for the past few years: first time official release of the BBC sessions, and anniversary releases of Reptile House and the 1984 singles.

My optimism doesn't extend to what we'll get, though. So I'm sticking to my guns that it'll be a coloured vinyl RSD reissue of FALAA with minimal packaging.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I'm expecting Von to celebrate the anniversary at the Roundhouse by not playing any of the tracks on it.

Both of these, with Andrew wearing the pants on his head.

to be fair the only time ever seen them play Walk Away was an astounding sing-along at the Roundhouse. even Von seemed impressed by the reception it got (and not just because he must have been the only one who didnt know the words)
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

That was great, Von shrugging his shoulders, shaling his head saying "I really don't get this", and looking puzzled as everyone sang along...

That again would do for me.
