Best versions of all "new" songs *UPDATE*

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.

Thanks all for your input and expertise! Please see the updated text below, you're most welcome to comment and suggest versions!

I'm going to make the ultimate collection of (relatively) recent unreleased SoM material. What are your suggestions for the best possible sources, sound- and performance-wise for the ultimate compilation of all "new" SoM songs, including covers? The final result/product will be shared with all.

(Please note that I haven't included (We Are The Same) Susanne in the list because it was an official release and will be sourced from the 256 kbps mp3).

Please state your favorite versions/sources as comments to this post.

Giving Ground (Sisterhood cover)
Rain From Heaven (Sisterhood cover)
Hells Bells (soundcheck)*
The Passenger ((soundcheck)*


* Disclaimer: these two songs are listed as been performed on several soundchecks on the Ultimate Sisters Guide (http://www.ultimatesistersguide.org/documents/1998.htm), but I can't vouch for the veracity of these claims, nor have I ever seen any recordings of these in circulation. Perhaps they were just goofing around with them during the soundcheck, and they were documented. Then again, the time when I knew everything there was to know about Sisters recording is now several decades in the past...[/b]

Now that I've heard the soundcheck recordings (thanks!) including Hells Bells and The Passenger, I've decided not to include them as they're just very brief snippets, and can't be described as anything more than aimless soundcheck strumming. Will update the list accordingly when I've received more feedback.
