For me it was either of the following:

A mint condidtion LP of Gift, for £3.50 in an Oxfam shop a couple of years ago.

Or possibly this bundle for £75 from a shop in Adlershot:

Body Electric (slightly tatty sleeve)

Walk Away 12" Promo (in WEA sleeve)

This Corrosion 12" DJ Promo with carrier bag

This Corrosion 7" Boxed Set

Dominion 12" Boxed Set

I bought a collection once (about 20 Sisters records for 25 Euro). It consisted of most of the 12"s, the This Corrosion 7" box, a few bootlegs and three copies of Floodland...
It filled a few gaps in my collection, sold the rest and actually made money with it :lol: The pleasures of collecting records of a band with a glorious past :innocent:

About 25 bootleg tapes for free.

ARAAHP BudKon flexi for about a tenner.. whether that's a bargain or a ripoff is subjective. ;)

Nice find. Even better that yer made money back with a profit. :notworthy: :notworthy:

As for the "glorious past". I agree. I was going to both the Leeds and Manchester gigs, but after the Leeds gig my impression was...they've stagnated and so I didn't bother with the Manchester gig. Not that the Leeds gig was a bad gig, it was "business as usual." I won't be going to another Sisters gig for a few years, or unless there's a new album out.

Never been lucky enough to get a genuine Sisters bargain, most of my stuff came in regular priced. A record shop did give me 4 quid once to take a copy of "What's THIS For...!" off them, but that doesn't count.

without a doubt, best was CNT002 Body Electric in fantastic shape for $5 from a NYC street vendor... less than 2 years ago.
