... what a contrast to the real impact they've always had ... ...Also somewhat saddening, but hell ... it's 2012 and that is - another era ...

Thanks, I already was looking for "THE sisters of mercy" there 
Isn't 5x Gold for different stuff good enough? These days you need to sell less then a half records to gain old status^^

it is good, just surprised it took till 2011 for FALAA to go gold in Germany. Still they should be platinum! heheDocSommer wrote:Thanks, I already was looking for "THE sisters of mercy" there

...As to FALAA - that was not exactly supported by the major German radio feature of kind ...

Yeah, they were/are, but let's be honest, FALAA in particular isn't exactly a vey commercial release, sound- and production-wise.Gary wrote: Always thought the Sisters' were pretty big in Germany?

"bay watch" was for kids and their mothers ?

Uhm, yeah. Don't forget about Knight Rider.Bartek wrote:"bay watch" was for kids and their mothers ?

Yeah, 'knight rider' was for kids- i remember when i was watching it. But, 'bay watch' with plastic boobs and bikins? Who knew, i never watched it, so maybe you're right.

Yeah, they wore hot bathing suits, but weren't they always dragging some ridiculously good looking man out of the water and saving him by mouth-to-mouth-breathing?Bartek wrote:Yeah, 'knight rider' was for kids- i remember when i was watching it.

Would've went gold there in ten minutes flat if the music videos featured the girls in leather aprons and proban boiler suits wielding hammers to beat their anvil-drums in spark-shrewn foundries. Rest of the world might've been less keen, tho...Thoth_Hermes wrote:Maybe it was that Scooter cover of Marian that boosted their album sales!Sita wrote:Yeah, they were/are, but let's be honest, FALAA in particular isn't exactly a vey commercial release, sound- and production-wise.Gary wrote: Always thought the Sisters' were pretty big in Germany?

Probably true. If they'd put their own version out as a single in (West) Germany in 1985, FALAA would possibly have gone gold then.Thoth_Hermes wrote:Maybe it was that Scooter cover of Marian that boosted their album sales!Sita wrote:Yeah, they were/are, but let's be honest, FALAA in particular isn't exactly a vey commercial release, sound- and production-wise.Gary wrote: Always thought the Sisters' were pretty big in Germany?
