I believe and agree on the term "The Suit". Everything started from that fantastic white Suit and my words before that was "I would like to have one like that"....

I totally agree, The Suit has a nice "Death on the Nile" touch...

Yes, a giant joke... or an homage to Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora, with camels instead of motorcycles.

Wow, what does that mean? What is "everything"?

Dominion/Mother Russia video clip was my intro to the Sisters played a lot at TV at that time and liked it better than anything else in video clips at that time. That brought up Floodland, Floodland brought up FALAA and FALAA brought up the singles period etc. etc

Likewise, a similar experience. I'd heard some old tracks (memory is hazy but I'm almost certain I was exposed to Body And Soul quite early) but they meant nothing much to me. I'd heard Wayne's mob but wasn't interested. This Corrosion came out, all my friends hated it, I loved it, but I still didn't bite. Dominion was the one that did it.

I remember seeing a Sisters fan at Hudderfield Poly with a very similar suit at the time the single came out. Twas very well done as far as I recall. I always wondered where does one buy, (particularly in Huddersfield - not exactly Milan!) that groovy a suit. Twas before t'internet after all. Maybe it was somebody about these parts...

Ah, this is the White Suit theory of the origin of the universe. Closely related to the Trousers of Time and the Black Hole Caused by Cosmic Moths.

Ah yes, I see.

Perversely. my own experience is the reverse of that. Starting off with the early singles and small club gigs, then the growth to 'big label' an on to over-the-top videos, which in many ways ended my immediate interest in the band. Around that time I was at Art College and losing interest a bit in indie rock music.

There have been many variations on the White Suit as the origin of the Universe - these have been tailored to fit the different religions

Drrrrrm tshhhhhh!

I have the German ME/sounds article and the photos are by
'P. Rider © smash hits'
I've thought of this P(aul) Rider but after asking a couple of times in time (agent, website, personally, faceook even) I have no confirmation if he did shot the photos or not. Might be another P. Rider?

I've searched for a smash hits archive, but the only one I know of told me they have volumes up till 1985.

Tom Sheehan indeed shot some duo photography (with Patricia) and I'm in touch with him.

Have you got in touch with Patricia?

From memory, we had a thread where she was Ebaying memorabilia from her Sisters' days
(fund-raising for a close-friend's sick child?) and The White Suit was included.

Won by a French female forum member (no longer active) who then posted pics of her wearing it.

Anyone remember this? Or can do a HL search and dig-up the thread?

I doubt it'll help you OP, but I'm just throwing it out there as hopefully it'll jog more memories.

I've a sneaking suspicion Patricia will remember more than Andrew.

Alright it's not Dominion shooting and he is not with Patricia on the pic but it's from Floodland era and it's a very good pic.
