How Obsessive are you...really?

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.

Don't have it. Probably wouldn't spend £35 on a record.

Sisters of who?

Can't think of any record I'd spend £35 on. Ask me again later.

Of course if it's an original Elvis from 1954 which is worth a billion times that... :innocent:

I voted 'hic' as I'd spend the £35 smackers on importing a bottle of Absinthe from Germany complete with 68% proof / 35mg THC contents.

You'd not worry about the record after that...... :lol: 8)

'Some Girls Wander' for a fiver (ooh look, it's got loads of other tracks on it too), then off to investigate that potent absinthe of CPs.

*hic*
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

35 Quid is about ZAR 500.00. A six pack of good, bottled beer is about R40 or less. Do the maths.

That said, BE will probably have to be my next Sisters purchase, mainly as there are very few Sisters things left on my personal checklist.

I got my BE for about £35 too. But that was before my credit card company started being awkward about upping my credit limit every month :lol:

I'd pay maybe 15 for it, and that's pushing it. Like the man said, you can get it on SGWBM for way less, so it comes down to a question of (1) do you want the song or do you want the artefact, and (2) have you already drunk the beer?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

as a non-collector casual-buyer i am often surprised how much people will pay for records.
in this day and age i would keep the money if i knew it was worth that much, or gate crash the absinthe party :evil: :notworthy:

having said that it is one of my faveurise platters de vinyl, but what ever happened to spending all day at a record fair in the hope of finding a bargain?

I used to go to such fairs quite frequently, but there seems to be fewer of them each year. :|
And I did get the Hanging garden double-7" from a record fair. 8)

Aye, I got this baby at one for a fiver, whereas it can go for at least 8 times that price. :D
