The Whiskey track being a Sisterhood soundcheck is ringing bells..

Anyone know if the '84 era Sisters actually got as far as practicing or demoing Mandy?

the track "fool's gold" is an original thin lizzy tune credited to phil lynott,and first appeared on the 1976 lp Johnny the Fox. i've never even heard of the track "sisters of mercy" -and as far as i know i've got all the studio albums -even the crappier early ones. :?

No,
"They Boys are Back in Town" is a well known Thin Lizzy track.

"Sisters of Mercy" is an obscure track from Lynott's unheard-of post Thin Lizzy band, Grand Slam.
