Ah. It is now on Rhino. Who also done the Goth Box recently and the Cure reissues. Rhino is owned by Time Warner btw.

Rhino still do vinyl,keeping my fingers crossed.

Money-making scheme for the record company or not, this is fantastic and i already preordered them from play!

i suppose if Eldritch writes a vehemently disapproving statement on the site regarding these releases then i'll be a good lemming and cancel, though. Probably.

If he's against the release, f**k contract law.

Artistic integrity trumps the courtroom any day.

Am I right in thinking the Floodland vinyl versions are slightly different to what made it onto CD? (This Corrosion, Driven Like The Snow??) if so, hopefully we'll get the Vinyl versions, Amazon does say "original recording remastered."

Posted: **25 Sep 2006, 16:38**

This Corrosion and Driven... are longer on the CD mix IIRC. I can't really remember if there's much of a difference though. It's a long time since I listened to the vinyl rather than the CD.

Posted: **25 Sep 2006, 16:41**

I know that Driven doesn't have that long drawn out intro, not sure about Corrosion though.

Posted: **25 Sep 2006, 16:42**

It doesn't?!

*prays for the vinyl mix*

Aye, that's right.

robertzombie wrote:not sure about Corrosion though.

I'm fairly sure the CD version is longer. I don't think there's more lyrics (unless it's a few more "hey hey hey-a-hey now now now now"s)

No record of it yet, she expected it to cross the channel to Belgium but said it'd take some time

oh yeah! t Kempes in full effect!

I can hear her say that

I do hope these cd's get an official release inna Belgium. And they probably will, but maybe not as priority release, so nobody knows 'bout it

Posted: **25 Sep 2006, 17:23**

The LP version is only about 9 minutes long (same as the 12" single version), but the CD mix is just under 11 minutes. Probably a few more "Hey now"s with a marginally longer fade-out.

Track lengths of different LP releases are at Ian Grimstead's old site, in case you want to compare them to those on a CD.

Contacted my old boss at the record shop where i used to work and asked him about the reissues.
He said he'd seen them a while ago on a forthcoming release sheet from Sony/BMG and he confirmed they are coming out via Rhino, who also did some Jesus And Mary Chain reissues earlier this year.
He's going to ask the rep if there's any promo stuff going round.
I'll keep you posted if i hear anything.

Matt..

While on the subject... The sisterhood: "Gift" is, afaik, out of print... and I don't have it on cd. Who holds the copyright to that material?

I'm waiting for cynical remarks of Von on the Girls' website....

Update (23/9/06) Album reissues

Sony/BMG (a subsidiary of Time Warner Inc) have confirmed they are reissuing the first three Sisters Of Mercy albums (First And Last And Always (1985),Floodland (1987) & Vision Thing (1990) via Rhino on Monday, October 30, 2006.
We belive some well educated and thoughtfull executive at time warners noticed the silver bullet tour and took his chance to jump on the train and milk a cow he left for dead years ago, but we can not say for sure as we were not consulted!
We advise you to save your money for the new album to be released by merciful release and wait for these reissues to be "leaked" onto the web.

.....new album?

So when would to be Andrew?

Well maybe it will be released more quickly now because of the free
"advertisements".

I'll wait for a few more days and ask around here in Holland.
Living close to several borders so I might be travelling around quite a bit to get these pieces. Sorry Von.....gotta have the originals.
