James Ray CD.

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.

Hi,

I just picked up a CD from E-bay that I assumed was A New Kind Of Assassin but actually isn't.

It's called Best Of James Ray's Performance & Gangwar and has all the tracks from Assassin apart from Mexico Sundown Blues (Edit), followed by Dios Esta De Nuestra Lado in it's entirety.

I wasn't aware that this compilation existed so I am wondering if it is a bootleg, it has the same cover as Assassin, and a sticker on the cover says "Featuring Andrew Eldritch of Sisters of Mercy" - notice the missing definitive article and is published by Fith Colvmn Records.

This cost me 99p rather than the usual 25 - 30 quid his CD's normally go for so I am a little suspicious - not that I'm complaining, I've got two albums here for the price of one ! :D

It's just a bit of a mystery and any help would be most apreciated.

Paul.

It's not a bootleg, it's a compilation/best of released on the american Fifth Column label. It's not everyday you see it so for 0,99, consider it a bargain!

...and I guess the sticker is just a way to sell a few extra copies..
...I’ve never had the desire to make a record unless I have something to say...

Thankyou.

I have been after this, (or the one I thought I won) for a few years now, my maximum bid was always £25.00 and I never came close.

Must be a sign of the times I suppose, or I just got lucky.

Thanks for your reply, xfloorshowx, much apreciated.

The Raymeister's entire back catalogue has been available for free download from the man's very own site until very recently. Sounds like a cool CD to get a hold of though - nicely done.
