It's definitely not worth buying! Except for diehard collectors

You're still at the rue Neuve, right?
I stumbled upon the bloody disc in Hasselt, capital of taste
I needed some blanc discs so popped in there to be rather surprised by this disc laying there in the usual MM-big pile-style. Couldn't resist of course!

I emailed Rhino UK, here is the response I just received:

Hi

Thank you for your email.

The Sisters of Mercy Platinum release does not have a release date at
present. If there is further news it will be available to order form
Rhino.co.uk.

Many Thanks

Hope this helps a little. It at least means it's a real release, but didn't answer my question about a track-listing.

Later,

Dave

A Sisters record without a release date? Who would have ever thought!

Is that the same as a release date without a Sisters record? Cos we've had those too.

Guess not...

Hello....question for the more resourceful amongst you out there..it does indeed look like one of the cheap CD double packs...however, the following link shows that there are 40 tracks:

http://www.treffpunktmusikshop.de/shop/ ... 42166.html

Looking at SGWBM (19 tracks) and VT (13) separately, it looks like there could be a few extra tracks chucked on this new mid-price effort?

Cheers
Keith

ps someone at Amazon has a sense of humour - claiming to sell piles of SoM and m*****n stuff together: check "Frequently Bought Together" here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Merciful-Releas ... 216&sr=8-2

Got the links mixed up with Halfjobbob's Amazon linkie.

Nothing to see there, just move along

IZ.

^^ Isn't that the track list for the Merciful Release boxset?

Looks like it to me. Another el-cheapo repackaging? For shame!

Still nothing on the Rhino webpage...

I would say the suspense is killing me but then I would have faded in 1995.

great songs on these albums.




You like the BIG capital, hm?

I work in a high street record shop, and we had loads of CDs in this range in this week - but not the Sisters one. It's basically cheap nonsense to cater for promotions etc.
The other titles range from the decent (Stooges, Ramones) to the pisspoor (STP, Morcheeba...). Packaging is minimal, small repros of the original sleeve, no sleevenotes, no service to a band's own aesthetic. The only thing that might make the Sisters one worthy of interest is that the Aretha Franklin double pack has the remastered, extra tracks version of I Never Loved A Man...so you might get the expanded VT but I'd be very surprised if they'd bothered doing a remaster of SGWBM just for this range.

Warners own Rhino. These discs all have a Rhino logo on the packaging.

They come as two discs in one jewel case, btw

finally found them in our shop.. bought 2 of em, as they were only 6,90€ a piece..

cd's are just the original first releases of both albums.. no extra's.. cover is plain, no booklet.. so.. just a way to back-up your original cd's..

backside mentiones same 2 in 1 box for Ramones and stooges (and some others..).. might pick up those 2 later..if they're same price..

both Rhino and warner logo's in small on back-cover..

no news yet about the platinum collection though...
