Unknown details?

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 think Von's fencing is pretty commonly available knowledge - it's mentioned on the Sisters' website, certainly. Nice article anyhow :notworthy:

I'm sure there's an album cover, poster, or some other example of promotional material showing our Paramount Leader in armour whites, with rapier. I heard on the grapevine some record vendor in Leeds had said picture enlarged to silly amounts, and mounted dominating his entire store. Bet that was a sight...

I'm quite sure a veteran will stop by with the picture soon enough.

I've no idea where to get that pic but you're definitely right. I do remember that photo. Isn't it from the Floodland era ?

It's been used as the cover of the 'Before the Flood' LP, with Floodland-era demos. Nice picture, nice album.

I thought this was Michael Jackson?

(No, really, an old art teacher once told me that picture looked like MJ.)

Anyone who's pale and skinny with black hair gets mistaken for Michael Jackson. At least around here. *Especially* if said person has on eye make-up.

yep you're totally right! :notworthy:
I 've checked last evening at home : that's "Kill the lights" LP (with demo from Floodland era). "Before the flood" (confusing title) is a CD (mine version is a CD) with portastudios demos around 1983, damage done 7" and other oldies goodies...

Yeah, it was blown up about 6 foot square and hung to the right of the counter in Vinyl Addiction (don't know if that's still there).
