Vision Thing - who did what?

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.

I was just reading some old interviews around the VT time & I was just wondering does any kind soul knowwho did what? Obviously the touring band wasn't the same as the one that made it...
Andreas was obviously involved. I know The Only Ones John Perry was also played - that HAS to be him all over on Dentonation Boulevard... ANy one know how that came about?

THen bass - Patsy had long since been introduced to the Spanish Archer by then, so was it E?

Tim did nowt; not a big ghastly secret or anything, it's fairly well known and was mentioned in interviews at the time that he had joined the band too late.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

This HL interview with Tony James might be of interest for you.

There's another good interview with TJ somewhere (who apparently played most of the bass on the record) where he says he was having loads of trouble with the Something Fast bassline (too slow apparently...), so Eldy had to sit down and record it himself.

Yes, that rings a bell, although I can't remember the source.

Didn't AE also play some early guitar until John Perry turned up?

That's the badger. TJ's a legend.
