Just saw that French Sisters book, Amphetamines, Napalm etc on ebay. Me French is rubbish but anybody know if it's interesting? Misericorde dosen't sound too hopeful! ;D

It's fairly decent, but you can tell the author never saw the Sisters live in the early years. He did hear some of the most common bootlegs though (Paradiso 83, Newcastle 85...), and simply elaborates from that. He also perpetuates some of the most common myths about the girls. Oh and btw : the good Doc isn't on the first single, and the Sisters never played at the 1990 Lorelei festival. They just gave a press conference. That's the kind of mistakes he makes.

Oh dear ... I just ordered this:

As far as I understand it's a German language version of the
'Heartland' fanzines I,II and III.

It is. The German translation is very good I must say.
