The Sisters of Mercy - Uncover




This is the negative of "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" bootleg. There isn't one note in these records played by the Sisters of Mercy. These are most of the songs from other bands that they covered, played live by it's original creators (with the exception of "Bei Mir..." wich it's the earliest live version I found). There's some real gems here (like the 26 minutes version of Sister Ray by the Velvet Underground) and some really cheesy tunes (like the Rubettes "Sugar Baby Love", but it sticks to your ear like super glue, listen at your own risk, since it probably won't leave your head for a month!), but overall it's a real enjoyable listening that should give some insight about the Sisters. What I find amazing it's how similar the Sisters versions are, and at the same time, completely different from the originals and when heard in the setlist of the concerts, one can almost forget that they're covers.

I've chosen the best sounding versions I found in bootlegs. Keeping this in mind, the version of "Silver Machine" it's cut because Hawkwind played it together with "Master of the Universe", since I find that really anoying, I also included in the directory that song, so you can listen to the two in a row without having the sensation of hearing an incomplete song.
