new business model for eldritch? the nin approach

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 not an über fan, I guess, because I'm neither a collector, nor a vinyl freak. But I wouldn't bat an eye to pay twice as much as your regular CD price, or even a little more than twice, for a beautiful digipak with liner notes and photos. I sometimes buy classical or jazz albums anyway, where everyone knows you have to pay a little more. Only with pop music you have to throw stuff after people almost for free.
Personally I don't even need any fancy bonuses, you have no idea how much I crave simply just for some studio photos. Nothing against live pictures, but we have been spoilt in the past. And even though that it is a few years ago, I can't step back behind that. Like that Spex cover with Eldritch in white, in a white room. "Iconic", so to say.
Now that I revealed how shallow I am... :oops: ;D ... back to the music. For me, even an official release of one of their recent concerts would do. We have brilliant bootlegs, but a proper remaster - I don't have words for how much that would mean to me.

The reason Eldritch won't appease us with any more releases - ever - is because he's left it so long now, that a release as tightfisted as so much as a thirty-second intro teaser would make us cream ourselves to the point where there's nothing left of us but mummified corpses - thereby eliminating Von's entire existing fanbase, such as it is, in one fell swoop.

Seconded.
And latest GoF is so bad music that is not even a pale shadow of their great past.

That sounds more like a Rob Zombie video clip than a Sisters ;D

At least i think many of us can survive such a situation and there is a better chance to raise the numbers of the fanbase to eliminate any loses :lol:
