All three issues of the early/mid 80s book/fanzine "kiss the blade" including the cassettes that came with them.
One red, one green, one yellow.

They were all Sisters and related - Sisters, March violets, Salvation, Ghost Dance etc. The artists on the tapes match the ones in the books. They are all numbered & were limited (to 250 I think).

They were only available from Pete in the small downstairs shop near Leeds train station.

Bad! Thanks! That's been bugging me since Biggy posted this thread.

Memory like a whatsit.

You know.

Those things with holes in.

Ten past two.

Are they going on e-bay?, if not (or if so :urff: ) I'm very interested.

Hi folks,
I have recently acquired the 3 'Kiss The Blade' tapes (but not the fanzines) and despite searching the interweb and this forum can't find any info on the tracklistings - a lot of them are live versions and it'd be nice to know which gigs they are from.

Can anyone help out?

Cheers

Ha, my copy of Damage Done is on a stone tablet etched with hieroglyphs, and you have to sing the songs YOURSELF!

Luxury! I had to record and play all the instrument(s?) on mine, design the sleeve, get the discs pressed, then print the covers and assemble them!

Just you try telling the youth of today that.

and we had to lick the road clean..
