"New" Box-Set

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.

Could be that they're just repackaging and shifting left over stock, I think.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

who really cares? in this day and age?

those of us here that are fans for whatever reason will always want our grubby little paws on something that comes out in 2010, old as it may be, the younger generation those at the gigs will want everything and anything that they do have. so we are the underground special group that help each other out, all over the world :wink:

True! But when something 'new' shows up I always kind of hope it will
be a remastered SGWBM and ASCOO including a bonus disc with demo's.
Or even better; A demo's and rarities disc (radio sessions and all that).
GIFT remastered and expanded with demo versions (Corrosions).

Or special issues of the regulars containing album, demo's disc, single versions and B-sides and a live disc of the tour at that time. It has been done to the Cult's LOVE and it has become a masterpiece.

let's face it, those who knew the sisters not gonna find anything new, those who been on last gigs won't buy it, and even if the didn't got any album before now haveing it in those on other way.
for my it's just waste of money and time.

Don't know where you've been or what you listened to ... I know that nothing is lost ... as long as there is joy in it, and there is. Fact.

it's purely subjective opinion (your and mine).
after 6-7 years i can't find ''joy'' in listenig this band, i've listend albums hundreds times here it's only sentiment.

and i'm not gonna talk about gigs, 1,5 of 3 of good gigs what i've been was good and it's reall weak result.

i'll this band in next life, they or mine.

is this box gonna contain some extras form back catalogue ? then i'm still not gonna buy this. and what really new songs can be there besides of meybe demos or remixes, mixes ? i guess that after 2006 re-release limits of unexpected songs like full lenght version of ''never land'' simply can't happen.

i'm not say any of the band but this one single. they're gets me bored and i like to discover new bands nwe albums.

Like so many others I'd be more interested in a compilation of rare unreleased tracks, but I guess we already have something like that in Some Girls Wander By Mistake and the 2006 Rhino reissues with lots of bonus tracks. Any chance for a reissue of Gift, by the way?

This is just phase 1 of a big Sisters publicity event.

Phase 2 is the new album, obviously.

To play devil's advocate slightly. Fifteen odd quid is pretty good for 5 albums. I know we all have them but if you're just discovering the gals it ain't a bad deal.... :innocent:

Buying them can help convince the record industry that the Sisters remain a viable prospect. More sales = more recognition = a better chance of the missing stuff being reissued and a better chance of new stuff eventually seeing the light of day (at least so far as the record industry side is concerned; :von: is another matter entirely).
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

i doubt warner care if they are a viable prospect or not, they're just milking out the last bit of cash they can from their ageing cash cow before it ceases to yield anything :(
