RE-UPLOAD: The Sisters of Mercy - Good Things (MP3)

We're getting closer to the summer festivals tour from TSOM, so it's a good ocassion to do an upgrade on the unreleased material from the band, including some 2009 recordings. This compilation gathers the best sounding versions of each song and was done by Mr. Wah, who was kind enough to let me post his link here. A big Thank You to him, for his effort and generosity and to Being645 for the Megaupload mirror. The compilation is so nice, I thought it deserved some artwork, my photoshop skills are limited, but I hope you enjoy it.

Marquee - audience.  At the end of Walk In My Shadow there was a section repeated (possibly someone had had it on 2 tapes with a bit of overlap) so I've edited it the best I can, but there's a small click on the edit.
Bay 63 - pro shot ... but appalling quality because it's gone too many generations.  Celebrate is particularly bad with a very unstable picture in parts, A Deeper Blue isn't as bad.  Someone is bound to have it in better quality than this.

** Abandoned after 45 sec due to some people fighting! (And people had been shouting for the song all night!)  Marx did a spectacular dive right  into the audience, then Anne Marie jumped in too as they both tried to break up the fight.  I never did find out what the fight was about.

Transfer done at least 7 years ago when I didn't know anything about flac, etc, and I no longer have the tape. :/

RE-UPLOAD: The Sisters Of Mercy - Leeds Polytechnic, Leeds, UK - 17.02.1991 (Flac)

Another of Egg_Crisis master recording, a huge Thank You to him for his generosity. Excellent sound.

Cassette(Aud, Master, TDK SF90's, Recorded on Sony Recording Walkman with T-shaped external mic[Eurochannels EMC3630]) > wav > Soundforge(even up L+R chans) > CDWave > split on sector boundaries > flac(6)

I don't do the CD1 / CD2 thing. If you're burning it on 2cd's just use your common sense. (Hint: Put the encores on CD2). :)

Recorded from the side balcony, approx halfway along.

Tape flip(auto-reverse) during Marian, less than a second missed, the missing piece replaced with another piece from later in the song.

The second of the two 10th Anniversary gigs.

Before Ribbons, "Here's another song about... sex."
Before Marian, "Not even close."
Before This Corrosion, (something in German)
As Flood II starts, (sounds like "That's as maybe" but it might be something in German?)
Before Jolene, "Who wasn't here yesterday?... (*he raises his shades to show his eyes*) ...nearly human!"
After 1969, "Thank you... ...(something in German??)..."

And is that Elgar's Cello Concerto playing from the PA at the end? I assume it is as Eldritch once named it as one of his favourite pieces of music.

I copied the tape for a few people back in the day, but don't know if it's currently circulating.

RE-UPLOAD: The Sisters Of Mercy - Leeds University, Leeds, UK - 16.02.1991 (Flac)

Now this is a pleasant gift from Egg_Crisis to all TSOM fans. Huge Thanks!

Cassette(Aud, Master, first part:TDK SA100,encores:TDK SF90, Recorded on Sony Recording Walkman with T-shaped external mic[Eurochannels EMC3630]) > wav > Soundforge(even up L+R chans) > CDWave > split on sector boundaries > flac(6)

I don't do the CD1 / CD2 thing. If you're burning it on 2cd's just use your common sense. (Hint: Put the encores on CD2). :)

Recorded from the balcony at the back, in the centre.
Tape flip(auto-reverse) during This Corrosion, less than a second missed, the missing "hey now now" replaced with another "hey now now" from a moment earlier to patch up the missing piece.

The first of the two 10th Anniversary gigs.

Before Lucretia, "Thanks for coming."
Before Amphetamine Logic, "Now there's a funny thing".
Before Burn, drum machine failure, "I hope you all found somewhere to stay tonight... (audience sings 'Let's all laugh at Eldritch') ... Oh no."
Before Gimme Shelter, "I remember when this stage was big".
As Flood II starts, "Is my nose still bleeding?".
Before Vision Thing, "And while we're on the subject..."

Includes the "3rd encore", where after more audience cheering Eldritch came back onstage and everyone expected to get another encore, but he just said "thankyou" then left.

Length - 107:53

I copied the tape for a few people back in the day, but don't know if it's currently circulating.
I downloaded a bootleg called "Return to Arkham" for comparison and quality-wise it's about the same. Although of the 2 songs I checked, both had had the between song parts tampered with, one song had one of Eldritch's remarks removed ("now here's a funny thing"), and another had a "thankyou" added where there hadn't been one (right before the drum machine failure).  I didn't check any more after that and binned it.
