The Sisters Of Mercy - Demos and Outtakes - 1981/1986 (Flac)
Another work of love. someone compiled all the sisters Demos from 1981-1986, Thanks to the the person who did this great job.
Original Info File:
Here's a bunch of Sisters demos & outtakes I put together from what I believe to be the best circulating sources for all of these recordings. All of those sources are detailed below, so you can make out for yourself what you need/want and what you don't. Whenever vinyl sources were used (either by myself, or by the producers of the bootleg CD's), I have manually removed (nearly) all audible clicks & pops using the pen tool in SoundForge, so you might even consider downloading what you think you already have...
Tracks labeled B01-B14 have been put aside because
- they were mastered at a much louder volume than the other tracks, and I didn't want to subject the first 28 tracks to the same treatment (I'm all for dynamics in music, not just sheer volume);
- I already seeded them once before
I think this is a fairly comprehensive collection of unreleased Sisters studio recordings. I did not use any of the circulating 'rough mixes' of officially released tracks, because most of them are virtually indistinguishable from the latter AND of patently inferior sound quality (unless anybody knows differently, in which case I'd love to be told).
One source I regret to say was not used: the 'Kenny Giles Walks On Water' bootleg that surfaced a couple of years ago and which I have never been able to track down - so if anybody could seed that one in addition to this lot, I'd be over the moon :-)
