Have been obsessed by this album for years vinyl and CD copies just never fill my need to hear this album again and again.

I never,ever post on forums cos I consider myself a bit too old at 40 (odd) but....I assume you are drunk?

Or are you just a bit 'odd'?

The format of a release does not fulfill you?

they playing two songs live: "giving ground" many times and "rain from heaven" lately, few times.
how this format fits you?
oh, and i have "gift" on cassette.

It's not the format it's just I wish the Sisterhod had been maintained as some kind of side project... of course I am a bit odd as well.

i think i can understand you. gift is my fav sisters album, but i'm affraid that will be hard to get Ray, Vega and specially Morrison together again as Andrew's sidekicks
Von told something that he called Vega for birthday party this year with no response from Alan other way sisterhood II may become something like ssv project, so better don't touch the legend me think

I know that there will never be another Sisterhood album... but the project got bad reviews when it came out, the remaining CD's are very expensive and I din't think the MP3's are even available on itunes...

No-one seems to remember it very well, which is a deep shame

now i don't think i can understand you
i know about bad reviews, but the music was ahead of those times, so nothing to worry about.
for sure gift should be reissue officially with additional intrumental giving ground and all that Ray/Eldritch this corrosion demos as a bonus tracks on second cd but we talk about Andrew Eldritch, so don't expect such miracles
you can hunt original gift cd for not too big money on ebay with a little patience and on vinyl even cheaper!
and believe me there's a lot of people i know, which remember gift very well, but they don't know who the "floodland" is
and one day, gift fans will rule the world, that's for sure

I'm pleased to hear that Gift fans will rule the world.

The rest will merely "reap what they sow"

as a project i also have been a fan of it. loved the merciful release' promotion sheet about the expansion into the giving ground. although the chosen path to legend got some fractions its all still funny. giving ground and rain from heaven are also great live-tracks

The Sisterhood - Gift mp3s are available online for those who know where to look...

Don't tell anyone though, it's still under copyright and people could get in trouble for hosting it.

I'm aware of this it's just a shame the original isn't offiically available anywhere

I can't even buy a T-shirt with the album cover on it so I guess I'll have to have one made to order.

I bought an official "Gift" shirt from the band in Belgium just weeks ago.

Ah well I tried.

'Gift' was a major kick in the trouser to me.
I still don't get it but I'll sell my copy (on pristine vinyl) for a decent price.
I got it on CD about 5 years ago and haven't felt the need to return to it.

i didnt spot the link either tbh

I admire Gift ever since, even though I didn't know anything about the background (or cared) at the time.
Its minimal, but with such a grand gesture.

Really? Our tastes overlap a lot, but this comes as surprise, if I'm understanding you correctly. I think it's among the best things AE has ever been involved with.

My CD--along with all of my official, non-single TSOM CD's--was loaned out to a guy who played keyboards for a band I was in about 10 years ago. I'll never see them again. The loss of Gift is the only thing that hurts.

It was on the middle of the three dots after 'look'

Too subtle?

It took me about 2 minutes of hovering the mouse around.

@James - I'll buy the CD off you if you don't want it (I already have the vinyl).

i used to have the cd...

i ripped it to mp3 for my own personal use

i then lost the cd

unfortunately my mp3s are only 192kb... i really shoudl have done them at 320

my CDs a vinyl rip, if I can find it I'll check the bitrate

Thanks man.

I've the CD and can do the honours if necessary (not for sale though so don't even think about asking ).

Sadly the vinyl goes for peanuts on ebay,it's the cd that's worth a few quid.
