james ray - "dust boat" on 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.

Not sure if it's a lot of help, but I've seen this on ebay. :)
I would have done something, but I was overwhelmed by a lack of concern.

Hola!

Dust Boat is available on two different CD's. I have them both. One is that best of-compilation New Kind of Assassin, that came out decades ago. A nice-looking, good-sounding product that unfortunately is missing a few b-sides, like Johnny Goodbye.
The second one, which I bought when the first one got scratched, is the exact same record plus Dios Esta De Nuestro Lado baked into one. This one looks like a poorly made bootleg, cheap and photocopied and I will have to check who released it. It should be easier to get hold of.
I have never seen the singles Another Million Dollars or Destination Assasination on CD... or was that the same single? I'm thinking of two singles. Anyway, it's a damn pity.

Okay, got it: the first album A New Kind of Assassin seems to be released through Merciful Release in 1989. The second one, with Dios Esta Etc., is from Fifth Column.
Other than that Dust Boat was never released on CD.

The second single I was reaching for is Without Conscience. Destination Assassination is the b-side.

I have 'A New Kind of Assassin', 'Dios Esta De Nuestro Lado' and 'Third Generation' on CD (and the 'Without Conscience' / 'Destination Assassination' 12" somewhere).

Didn't they release an album called 'Psychodalek' after 'Third Generation'?!

Yup, and very good it is too! There was also a book he wrote to accompany the album. It isn't very good.
