Heartland

Hi there! I'm new here & wanted to say "hello". I've read some of the posts and have found many to be either very informative or extemely hilarious. Kudos to all of you! Hope it's okay to ask a question. I figured if anyone will have an answer, it will be somebody on here. A guy recently told me that there is a version of Floodland that doesn't have the usual cover of AE & PM on it. Is this correct? If so, what does it look like & how does it differ from the normal version(inner sleeve different, etc?) If anyone knows anything about this, I'd appreciate the help! Thanks/Danke/MerciGracias!!!

sorry that's my limit for was to say "thank you!"

hi and welcome to the mad-house
...anyhow nothing in my knowledge about a different version of Floodland

welcome

another useless- can't help you

at least you said "Hi" first and that is to be commended

If there is an alt. cover of Floodland, I think it woulda surfaced in here by now.
I've yet to see one, so this "guy said" is talking arse, I think we can call this myth - BUSTED!

Thank you for the "welcomes" and I take the commendation from Mr. Blast as a compliment. Had manners drilled into me by the nuns at school!
And yes, for the record, they were all Sisters of Mercy...how ironic. As for the lp mentioned, he said it was a German issue with no picture sleeve, just a black sleeve with The Sisters of Mercy printed on it(with logo) and the lyric sheet. To me, this just sounds like he's missing the picture sleeve. However, I noticed in another post where some members have their collections posted, that there are mentions of a German issue with no picture sleeve. Any way to find out if his is the same? Thanks again for the help!!! The spouse & I appreciate it!

Don't worry about Uncle-James, when you'll have learnt to know him you'll understand he talk always in this way

Maybe you are thinking of the CD promo of the album which came with a clear case with a black and white sticker on the front case, the album cover originally was going to be a map of europe with France removed! All copies of Floodland came with the normal Elrdritch and Patsy picture, I have 26 different copies of the vinyl LP and apart from language variations and other promotional gumpf they are the same, the only exception is the black label promo which either came in the standard sleeve or a plain black sleeve (depends on who supplied it)

Welcome to the institution, msm67! Enjoy your stay.

RARRRRGGHH!

Hullo there!

evenin'

Sounds like a promo to me too. But most of all, wilkommen, of course

Welcome!

Hello msm67, what is a 'floodland'?

Greetings back to all of you!

@weebles-a "floodland" is best described as New Orleans after a hurricane.

Hope all are enjoying your day!!

It's sad, but I'm not really that surprised.
Cool avatar, though.

You're probably right

There's even a transparent edition, did you know? (That's when you've lost all sleeves.)

hello, my name is Daisy and your nurse in this hell hole.

Herzlich Wilkommen zum Asylum, MSM - don't mind these other chaps, for soon enough willt thou gauge their foul purpose and dark deeds.

Once again, thanks for the nice reception!

@the-happening...thanks for making me not feel so bad for having 5 copies of that lp! which of course makes me wonder if I should give one to this guy so he can have a complete record

@Daisy...that transparent issue must only have been released in Amsterdam. Kind of like the US "Crystalline" version....that's the one you got when you had been up for 5 days and couldn't see which lp you were dumping your powder of choice on. Never had that one....always preferred to do that on VT.

Well....enjoy your Monday everybody!

Have a nice warm welcome here!

Hiya

Yup, I'd say his "different" sleeve is just a missing sleeve, as illustrated by robertzombie.

Right, anyone up for proving the existence of the Loch Ness monster next?

(I've used that joke before, haven't I?)

Isn't that the cover for the next single?

Is it Penry, the mild mannered janitor?

Could Be!

Phooey!
