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.
I don't know about that particular postcard, but I was member number six. (Insert Prisoner joke here, I know...) Sadly I no longer have documentary proof (got the UTRs, don't got the envelopes that had the member number on).
Number five was a friend of mine, but I don't know who 1-4 were.
Yes, I had one as well...God knows where it is now, lost somewhere in the process of 3 house moves over the years...Bugger!!
I've still got me MR postcard with a plug for "More" & the Wembley gigs though..on me study wall here as I type.
"Ohne deine hilfe verliere
Ich mich in diesem ort"
Unfortunately, it's showing signs of wear, and has a bit of tape stuck to it from when I'd had it up on my uni dorm wall. I probably ought to take a little better care of it, eh?
Um... I don't remember ever being "thanked for my patience" - were you?!

no, never
Next thing I got from the Reptile House was a Flyer were all the stuff that the RH was selling at that time were listed with pictures and everything was written in german. Also the Membership with the UTR was advertised.
But I joined about 1 year later with UTR 5. But at that time it was possible to order all the old issues except UTR 1.
First I got from them was back in 1988, the "Merciful Information" with a short History and Discography. There was also my name handwritten and at the end a "More soon " and "Kaz" (The "more soon" came about 2 years later as the mentioned numbered postcard!!)

Just recognized that most of the UTRs are available as a scan! Wow!
I also can contribute the other UTRs as a scan, if wanted. I remember that there was also a german issue, anyone for this one?
Btw, the UTRs helped me really to keep my level in english language at that time! There were no Internet, and I was working as plumber. If there wasn't the UTR (and later Dominion) I wouldn't kept my level in english, what helps me nowadays a lot in my Job!
big si has most of the utr's. i've asked him to stop at issue 11 as we're nearing the issues that are still available... i only want to make available stuff you cant get anymore
thanks for the offer though
What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

Am I right that these days Reptile House can offer only UTR 7 and 12? At least they didn't sell any more issues in Berlin last year.

All except issue 1 (photocopy only - thanks erudite ). Keep an eye on the weeding section.

I dont want to blow my own trumpet or anything (If I could I would be on the stage )
These are scans of the information I was also sent in 1988, I dont have any idea who "Kaz" is / was - perhaps she/he ran "merciful release" or something?
