1995 And Nowhere

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 rarely diss eldritch ( and i know that you do come here von) but would it really hurt you to let us have a studio recording of the "new songs" you tight git? :|

That was some bloody time ago! And I was heavily concussed by the mighty weight of alcohol that had landed on my head :lol:

I recall very politely asking the staff to reopen the bar for Mr. Marx, like the drunken pompous git I was, and indeed, still am!

Cheers for a top night, Si.

On topic, I also have a copy of 1995 and..., acquired for me, oddly enough, by eldritchboulevard himself! I found I could distinguish it immediately from the Sisters' eighties era, and found it to be sufficiently unique that I am very interested in any further productions!

Alas, it's precise location is unknown in the still-unpacked mass of luggage that constitutes my home!

*Chop* On actually reading the thread (which helps). Hopefully a remastered version will appear on the site, and then i may get my first listen to what may have been.

There is a "1995 And Nowhere" up for sale on E-bay - but the track listing doesnt bear much resemblance to what has been discussed here

No news on the GD site, nor release info on the GM site, and I haven't had a reply from Gary yet either, s'not fair...... he must still be hibernating.

so.....



still nowhere ? :(

I keep on checking this thing 'cause I'd really like to know what it sounds like, but all I see is nothingness. Is there a way to buy the old version, the remastered version, the version with Eddy Wally backing vocals, the ..... ?
which also reminds me of another thread that I can't locate anymore.... wasn't Mr Marx going to rework an old sisters song relatively recently?

I emailed Mr Marx and had no response.

How can I be expected to live a fulfilled life without hearing the Eddy Wally renditions of such top pop tunes?!

Not going through the entire thread again, but as I recall Mr. Marx got a fair amount of HL-emails and decided not to answer them one-by-one, but rather have Markfiend (or was it QB or James?) post his general response in this forum. Again as I recall, Mr. Marx was digging into the studio to remaster the songs contained in the album and would then put the order-link up on his site.
On another note, he was also reworking an old Sisters song.

Anyhow, given some peoples' 'connection' to this hand that feeds us, would someone happen to have more recent info re this matter?

Just throwing an idea on the table here, but perhaps the mods could organise a list containing HL-ers who'd buy a copy? Would that help?

aye, i seem to recall it was i 8)

i've not spoken to gary for a few weeks now, and such lapses in comms are usually indicative of him spending some time with his family, often overseas... i'm assuming the current radio silence is another one of those :)

i'll happily drop him another mail with any specific questoin or order queries, so just remind me what you're wanting to ask...? :)

Thanx QB - i'd really appreciate that. Specific questions I had in mind:

- There seem to be quite some ple who'd like to order the 1995 album from him. How could they best do that - separate emails or a joint HL 'list' perhaps (so he knows what number he's dealing with)?
- Or whether he's currently remastering some of the 1995 songs and would like us to shut the **** up for another 3 months so he can finish his artistic activities and put the info on his website?
- How that revamped old sisters song is sounding presently? :innocent:

Just let me know when to shiddaap myself re this topic.... like... right now probably...

I got a mail from nice Mr Marx, or someone who works with/for/alongside/is married to him, and it goes like this,
"Thanks for contacting us - you will have to wait a little longer. Plans are currently underway to package a new 10 track version of the album. Visit the site in a few weeks time for an update."

if it helps...........
Not as good as Motorhead, but better than The Birthday Party, which makes us pretty damn good.
