The Sisters of Mercy - Wembley Arena - 24.11.1990



AKA The Satanic Verses

This seems to be a transfer from a tape and not the actual record, the sound is good since the source is a soundboard, but you can notice some hisses and a light distortion in the high pitches. It'a a hell of a good concert anyway, since the band is as tight as they ever were.

02. Lucretia My Reflection
03. Body & Soul
04. Detonation Boulevard
05. Ribbons

The Sisters of Mercy - Floodland Demos (Flac)


This demos of the "Floodland" album are very stripped down and raw versions of songs you all know. The sound is closer to the Sisterhood than the finished album, and this document serves as the missing link between the two of them. Of special interest is the long instrumental song "Untitled", wich is not the same as the "Untitled" on the Dominion EP, and contains some parts that would became the basis for "I Was Wrong", featured in the Sisters next album "Vision Thing". The "This Corrosion" demo was actually done in other sessions, still with the Sisterhood, so it's not here, I'll leave that for another post.

A must listen for any Sisters fan. It deserves to be presented in .flac, so that's the format.

1. Dominion
2. Flood I
3. Lucretia
4. Neverland (complete version)
5. Untitled
6. Driven Like the Snow
7. Flood II

The Sisters of Mercy - Top Rank Suite, Brighton - 01.04.1985



From the original poster's TXT file:

"This and the Whistle Test TV show, are the final two performances of founding member and original guitar player, Gary Marx, with The Sisters of Mercy. The final concert he played was the last night of the UK tour, on April 1st, 1985, at the Top Rank Suite in Brighton. The next day, he performed his very last rite in front of the BBC TV cameras for the Whistle Test, the band turning in rousing renditions of two songs from their first LP.

This recording of the Brighton concert is a flawed, but nevertheless enjoyable soundboard recording taken from discs 2 & 3 of the triple vinyl bootleg set, "Through The Years". I've cleaned it up thoroughly, but here and there some surface noise remains. I chose not to go to extremes in trying to get rid of the extraneous noises, lest I should compromise the sound quality of the actual recording. There's a sample from "Train" that should give you a good idea of what to expect. The performance is excellent throughout, with particular highlights being Amphetamine Logic, the trip down Memory Lane with Floorshow/Alice/Body Electric completely seguing into one another, and the juggernaut ride through Sister Ray/Ghostrider/Louie Louie (too bad the sound quality of the final encore is inferior to the rest of the gig - but still!!! Too bad it's hard to make out whether Gary Marx really did throw his Anaconda-guitar to the stage standing on top of the stacks...)"
