No doubt we all have our favourite tracks or are unhappy with the reverse-chronological Overbombing I thought it might be fun to share our home-programmed Sisters compilations/playlists. I recently put a few CD compilations together using my needledrops, one is a mix of vinyl-only tracks and the other is a "deluxe" F&L&A. Have other members done anything similar?

I have a "Sisters at the BBC" mix which is just the Peel/Jensen sessions and the Whistle Test appearance, all in chronological order.

I made several over the years, the last one was for a friend a while ago with demos and stuff, moodpieces:

Burn it down (demo)
Anaconda (early demo)
Jolene (demo)
Afterhours (B&S b-side)
Phantom (long version)
Wide Receiver
Marian (OGWT)
Knocking On Heavens Door (RAH)
A Rock And A Hard Place (remix)
Lucretia (Floodland demo)
Never Land (Floodland demo)
Untitled (Floodland demo)
Snowdriver (Floodland demo)
Flood I
Untitled (Dominion b-side)

My most used compilations are really the most basic. I put non LP tracks, singles B-sides or re-mixes in chronological order

These break down in to 4 CDs -

1980-83 - which is just "Some Girls Wander" in order
1984-85
1987-88
1990-93

This way I can pretend that I have far greater choice

1st -FALAA vinyl rip

2nd-Some Pats Wander by Mistake




Mr Blast did the logo , loved it so much I still have a framed version on the wall.

These were done in 2006 so I think the DVD-V audio version would have been a 96khz 24bit transfer which was about the highest setting my PC back then could handle, still sounds very yummy!

That FALAA 2-disc set is neat; just what the official reissue should have been.

One of my first bootlegs was an "Enter the Sisters" with low-quality (but not as low as some) copies of official releases, and I still sometimes put together a playlist with it's tracks:

Temple of Love (12")
Burn
Floorshow
Anaconda
Adrenochrome

Alice
Body Electric (original)
Lights
Heartland
Gimme Shelter

Another one I put together was called "Into the mess that scalpels make" and rounded up the post-SGWBM singles and B-sides.

Nice! I captured mine at 24/192, so a DVD audio disc is on the cards. For this material, 24/96 is more than enough to capture all the information.

What gear are you using, Pat?

Was using Robert, it's all tucked away safely in the loft (don't have kids).Michell Gyro SE, rega 300 arm and Ortofon MC 10 supreme cart. Trichord research phono stage , Audiolab preamp. I put it through a creative audio soundcard to capture and did a manual click and clean with Soundforge.Might also have done a little tweaking in Soundforge with Diamond something or other plug ins and a BBE plugin which were all very HQ . Very geeky and great fun.Sounded great, really miss it

Can't listen to sisters now. When I did flood I and II was obv combo

What a set-up!

I'm rocking a SL-1210 with Audio Technica AT440MLA cart, into a Technics SU-V9 vintage amplifier from 1982. Capturing in Audition with an Asus Xonar U7 sound card and de-clicking with ClickRepair, which gets a lot of good press from the pro needledroppers.

Great fun indeed!

Ooh good call.

That was one of my first ones as well - I believe I have it on vinyl and also had it on a shoddy CD with a flimsy cut-too-small insert.

I had a dodgy cassette of it that was probably third or fourth generation copy of the vinyl. Lost it long ago.

How about adding a third CD with the Jensen session (esp Jolene and the very different NTTC), Long Train, the early SKOS, Dance on Glass, Garden of Delight etc. If you added all the (slightly) different versions of the core FALAA tracks which you have identified in the other thread, you could probably fill about six CDs for the terminally sad (guilty as charged, m'lud).

forgetting 7" edits/versions and limited edition mixes this, at the time i first put it together, represented the officially-released tracks as yet unavailable on (an officiial) cd, with the exception of Body And Soul which i feel needs to be with the rest of the tracks from it's 12" for completerness.

"...into the mess that scalpels make..."

Alice (1993)
Body And Soul
Body Electric (1984)
Train
Afterhours
Poison Door
On The Wire
Blood Money
Bury Me Deep
Untitled
Sandstorm
Emma
You Could Be The One
Knocking' On Heavens Door
Something Fast
Ozymandias

When Warners gives me access to the tapes I will do this!
