all 3 albums reissued with bonus tracks.

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 holding out for a DVD - Shot Rev 3.0, which includes the FALAA promo clips and the Whistle Test performance.
There are moments when I think AE might decide this is a good opportunity to put out a single....Nah! :lol:

I'm sure Shot will be transferred to DVD at some point (probably without any extras btw.) - although I must say the recent issue of record collector did not mention the re-releases yet. Well, at least not that I could see.

Can't be arsed to check back through the 10 pages in this thread, but HMV online now have the 3 albums available for pre-order £6.99. And it seems that they have gone back to the original mix for 1st And Last, according to the blurb on the site.

matt..

From HMV:

"1985's 'First and Last and Always' remains unequaled in the genre, permanently granted top place on a pedestal from which it cannot be toppled. From the opening claustrophobia of 'Black Planet' to the melancholy 'No Time to Cry,' Eldritch continually assured listeners that 'everything's gonna be alright'. Continuing with the bass-driven guitar gem 'Possession' and the closing 'Some Kind of Stranger,' an untouchable epic that, clocking in at over seven minutes, is the best of its kind. 'Some Kind of Stranger' not only became a 'love song' for the dressed in black crowd. Copied to death, its brilliance has never been replicated.

The unknown story of this album is that ever since it has been availble on CD, and inferior 'copy' master was utilised. Remastered from the multitracks for the first time, it now sounds better than ever before and is augmented by six tracks, all non-album 'B' sides plus 'Some Kind Of Stranger (Early)' a previously unissued track from the album sessions, all housed in a foldout digipack sleeve with new linernotes."

Does anyone on here have a clue as to what the SKOS (early version) actually IS? A demo or something? I've read somewhere that ALL the FALAA songs were demoed (some have surfaced, of course), and some of the demos are markedly different from the final versions. ANy idea if this could be an early take with different music or lyrics or something?

It's probably from the same source as the "WEA Mixes" bootleg.

Shame it wasn't on that boot, though. Though it may have come from one of the same sessions.

I guess it's what we are all waiting for (plus Never land...full version).
