Bowie/Gen X/Sisters

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.

Billy Idol (far left) with his first band Generation X under the K West sign in 1977.
Next right is bass player Tony James who went on to mastermind Sigue Sigue Spuntnik in the 80's.
What is interesting about this picture is confirmation that a second (K2) phonebox existed in Heddon Street at this time!
This visit provided inspiration for their single "Wild Youth"

Eh!? :?

Well, you have to know where your K2 phoneboxes are...

I'm far more interested in the K9 phone box that Tom Baker used to have.
