The Sisters OF Mercy - Radio Gothenburg Interview with Wayne Hussy - 15.05.1985 (Flac)

An 8 minutes interview from Wayne Hussy to a Gothenburg Radio Station. You can hear Andrew talking on the background so probabbly it was a collective interview from the band when they played there in 1985. Wayne talks about Leeds bands, the recent contract and Doktor Avalanche name origin, while bashing the pop bands of the time.

Thanks to sleepchamber for sending me the tape to rip and share here.

The Sisters Of Mercy - VPRO Interview - xx.11.1987 (Flac)

Can't remmeber whre I got this... I suspect it comes from Egg_Crisis collection, but I'm not sure... Anyway typical interview from 1987, where Andrew centers his focus mostly on new member Patricia Morrison.

By some strange reason, before the interview there's a recordings of the Sisters version of Gimme, Gimme, Gimme from 1984, wich in fact, is a good thing.

The Sisters of Mercy - Andrew Eldritch Interview - 30 Ton, TVP2, Poland - 10.05.2003 (Video)

A video interview shared here by Florian, our thank you to him. Unfortunately the reception of the broadcast from where it was ripped had some ghosts, so the image quality isn't great, but it's one of the best interview of Andrew. Spot his smile when we talks about Lemmy

The Sisters Of Mercy - Interview, ARD, Formel Eins - 17.10.1987 (Video)

A request from Florian. A short but nice interview with Andrew and Patricia. In English with german subtitles.

The Sisters of Mercy - Belgium TV Interview 1985 (Video)

I've been asked by Florian to post this interview and I delayed it on porpuse, since I was trying to get a better source than this one. I have a second source but it's very grainy and in B/W, so this one, as awful as it is, it's still a little better since it's in colour, but the picture has lots of fluctuations. Even so it's a classic, with Andrew being very much himself, as the reporter tries some dumb questions.

The Sisters of Mercy - German TV Interview - 1984 (Video)

A Request from Florian, the quality sucks, but it's the only version that surfaced so far. Dubbed in german.

The Sisters of Mercy UK Dispatch, Sky Channel Report - 1988 (Video)

Very interesting 20 minutes program featuring interview with Hussey and Eldritch about the split of the FALAA line-up and consequent dispute about the Sisterhood name, Also featuring Patricia Morrison and Simon Winkler. Some promo clips are included, most of them not totally complete. Thanks to florian for sharing this one here with us!

Original Comment by florian:

Here below you have a TV special, well it's more of a report about the Sisters' (inevitable as Wayne puts it) split that ocurred in 1985, the conflict over The sisterhood name that it entailed, The sisters of mercy & The mission being regarded as prominent figures in the gothic rock movement, features an interview with the mission, a few of their clips and a kick-ass though short interview with Andrew and Patricia from the Floodland era.

Interview with Andrew Eldritch - Radio Bremen - 1992

26 minutes long, in german, so I can't really tell what's the subject. Maybe some german reader is kind enough to gives us some light on it.
