Gary Marx Interview + Nottingham Rock City review (1985)

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.

Just uploaded pictures of a G.M. Interview from 1985 I believe; it also contains a brief review of a Nottingham Rock City gig also from 1985(?)

Enjoy!

I first thought the review was from 1984 (last bit of page 3 to make sure we're on the same page :) ) but what about the mention of Fix as an encore? (which I don't think they played at the 1984 gig, unless it got cut off the tape again :roll: )

note it's in red font on my site. seem to remember a dominion buff confirming it a few years back. or the reviewer got the wrong song :?

but fix had been played by then, so...

*edit.

just reread my review (same as yours but easier on the eye on paper to screen) on the bootleg around alice, you can hear "right hand...blah blah..." this is the thing the reviwer is commenting on around alice/train time . also, there is a minor cut where fix would sit , but i have two sources, so it gets unlikely that it was cut on both :?

Has anyone seen one of the new 324 series diesel locomotives with soft suspension? Great machines, they are.

Okay, I'm sorry for being sarcastic. And especially sorry for being unoriginally sarcastic. I am glad there are people out there who know these things.

It's a mighty fine train, though.
