And here's what CDUniverse have to say about F&L&A (emphasis added):

Sisters Of Mercy: Andrew Eldritch (vocals, guitar, keyboards, synthesizer, programming); That Guitarist (guitar, background vocals); Craig Adams (guitar); Gary Marx (bass). The Sisters Of Mercy's debut, 1985's FIRST AND LAST AND ALWAYS.......Fans might wish to note the album's 1992 remastering cleans up the sound quality significantly, but whichever version you hear, this album is an extraordinary document.

Oh dear.

That is pretty shoddy, but at least they say:-

thanks for letting me know.
no need to unseal the box

Just got mine from the post. The re-mastering sounds great, I am giddy as a schoolgirl.

.....sorry I mean no offence but this really made me laugh. You are not serious, are you?

yes i mean it

No, I won´t buy it, seems like a rip-off... 4 month or so after the remasters, why?
Maybe, if the price goes down to a tenner or so.

well, i'm so glad i popped into Camden high st Music Exchange on me way home ~ picked up a brand spankin new shrik-wrapped MR set with a "Promo" sticker on it for a mere £15 (oh, if anyone in the vicinity of Norf Laaahndahn is interested, they had the individual digipaks for £7 each)

the full NeverLand is.......breathtaking. I'd donate a pinky to hear this performed live. ELEVEN minutes 45! Sublime, like Eldritch has wandered into John Carpenter's The Fog (in mirror shades of course).

the mastering sounds velly good ~ will have to headphone these suckers all next week

my iTunes say 11:59, and I coulda bought the box for fourteen quid on play.com months ago

Next!

I'll give you the 11:59 thang, but Play is charging more now...

Mr Blast, you are a bad man

ps: it was in the Goth section

I am a Bad Man yes, why do you ask?

cos i got Dirty Deeds and i need 'em Done Dirt Cheap

actually, about the 11:59 thang ~ i was playing my shiny new Floodland on the trusty old CD player ~ NL comes in at 11:46, with a 14 second gap thingy before Emma.

down Blast! down! ouch that hurts!

...what do you expect?

that 14 second section is an homage to John Cage's 4:33

now there's a terrifying concept for a new Sissies album...
