More is fantastic- I'd also include Ribbons and a version of Top Night Out...
In fact I'd probably just do them a copy of Frankfurt 2003

Good choice
All the studio albums, along with Newcastle 85 and the above Frankfurt gig, should cover The Sisters very nicely.

as the sisters have explored a fairly broad spectrum of styles between early MR releases and "recent" material, i would lend/copy all the official stuff seperately (i personally love seventeen seconds, pornography, and faith , but might have been put off of the cure by a compilation featuring much of their other stuff).

give them the 3 official studio albums. After that, you suggest there's b-sides and more.
hell, imagine you never heard about The Cure and someone serves you All Mine or the weird See The Children, you don't have a clue.
So sorry to say, but a compilation makes it too difficult. Just three albums. If they don't like these albums, they don't like The Sisters. And they should stick to their suburban safe & sound Bauhaus & Joy Division.

I'd go with a slight case of overbombing. It doesn't really capture the edgier post punk aspect of the early sisters, but thats a fine place to move onto.
I revise, just copy ASCOB but whack on the studio versions of Body Electric and Amphetamine Logic. That should just about cover it.

I am starting to develop a very strong liking of The Damage Done. Should be on there me thinks....
Or maybe it's just really about time
for a new album.......

alice - that's just crazy talk.
What the Sisters
sound like just has to include Valentine (indeed!). I agree with the "short sharp shock" approach, and as they're musicians they'll probably be on the listen out for interesting arrangements, quality of musicianship and the like.
I'd give 'em (in order):
Valentine (indeed! who was it said "win the battle before they even know there is one"?)
Gimme Shelter (allegedly the song that won over Wayne)
FALAA (the intro! the chorus!)
Dominion (a good taster for Floodland without going too far into the freaky sh-t)
Ribbons (finish up with a nice horror story before bed time!)

Good one... although I'd prefer the superb Leeds 26th April 2003 recording!
As for a compilation -- that would be a challenge considering how their music changed styles from one record to the next. I have never listened to "... Overbombing" for that reason, unlike SGWBM which I love. However, if
could get the new guitar girls to record a live set
in studio, I would love to hear the results!
But that won't ever happen now will it...
