is overbombing worth getting?

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.

Well, as one of the (very) few official releases, no Sisters collection would be complete without it. The songs are a little different.
You have Under The Gun, which is worth it only for the last two minutes, TOL92, which many people don't like, Vision Thing's length is almost double the original, This Corrosion is a few seconds shorter, etc. etc. All in all what i can tell you is that it depends :smile:
It is and it isn't worth getting. Hope i could help somewhat he he

Thanks; I've already got Under The Gun, but only on the MC single but I've never heard Body and Soul. Obviously I will get it just for the sake of it...

its worth it to have the 12" version of lucretia on cd :wink: :von:

and the version of vision thing (the "canadian club mix") is far better that the album version.... i even "half" like that one! :smile:

Actually quite good isn't it...
Lucretia, in particular.
No time to cry is different as well, I think. Same length as FALAA, 'though.

Body and Soul is great as well.

there is a fantastic bootleg
SOME BOYS WANDER BY MISTAKE
which includes
in addition to Body And Soul and Train
other fascinating songs you can't find from official releases: Afterhours, Poison Door, On the Wire, Blood Money etc.

agree with you that BURY ME DEEP is a great song.
(but now it's time to go to sleep.
if you add 2 hours to the time you see on the top of my message you get the time here...
so, my words are not very wise any more...
I wanted to say something personal about this song but I'm not sure is it important...)
