Tribute - CD or Downloads?

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.

So what's it to be?

May as well. :von:

So what do people prefer? A proper CD would require commitment from a sufficient number of artistes to warrant it, but would definitely be nice to have. Downloads would be quicker and easier.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Oh, there's always one. :lol:

I'd thought about it, and reckoned that "either" is too much of a sit on the fence position, and might not produce a viable result. "Both" on the other hand is a very valid option, and it may even fall out as the best option if the results are close enough to warrant it.

In the end I decided that selfishness was the order of the day. Which of the 2 suits you the best?

Either way, if this comes off I would personally like to see a result that would also cater for the narrowband folks. So if you're on dial-up and would like to see this happen, you know what to do.

As an artist, it suits me best to be able to cite my work on CD. As a fan, it suits me best to be able to download it.

Any questions? ;)

As both in this case, I reckon you'd be entitled to both in any event.

CD, I have a large cd collection that looks lovely and I enjoy selecting things out of it.

But for the sisters, vinyl.

I'll deffinately agree with the first option, for the same reason.

Question: If you go for a download, will Herr Blast's artwork be available to download as well?
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

A CD please. And a DVD. I was kind of impressed by what Wayne did with that Candles-thing. And I think Andrew could do a thing like that so much better. Or am I thinking of David Bowie?

"Limited (to 10000 copies)"? That's pointless, may as well just say it's not limited.

Plus that's a stupidly high price for a CD+DVD set.
