Reverberation Across the Nation

Ok, so anyone who knows me knows how much of a Sisters of Mercy obsessive I am. Thus I have decided recently to upload some of my bootlegs I own for download for anyone who is remotely interested. Some say the girls were the most bootlegged band from the eighties, a claim I can most certainly well believe.

The Return to Arkham



A
Afterhours
Alice
Lucretia my reflection
Body and Soul
Ribbons
Dominion/Mother Russia
B

First and last and always
Amphetamine Logic
Detonation Boulevard
Burn
Marian
C

This Corrosion
Gimme Shelter
Flood II
D

Temple of love
Valentine
Vision Thing
Something Fast
Jolene
1969
A nice release from the fanclub taken at the band's 10th anniversary gig at Leeds Poly. Decent sound if a little thin, but a great coverage of their career on show.

Download

Stonehenge


A
First and Last and Always
Body and Soul
Amphetamine Logic
Marian
No Time to cry
B

Possession
Walk Away
Heartland
Some kind of stranger
Body Electric

One of the best bootlegs I've heard sound wise. Recorded at the London Lyceum somewhere around 1984 I think, and has notably great versions of FALAA, Possession and Body Electric and a rare appearance from Some Kind of Stranger.

Download

In the Shadow of Angels



A:

Wide Receiver
Walk Away
Red skies disappear
No Time to Cry
Fix
B:

A Rock and a hard Place (instr.)
Black Planet (instr.)
Marian (instr.)
Candle (instr.)
Temple of Love
Poison Door

One from the twins at Palazzograssi, notable tracks here are the 'Red Skies Disappear" demo originally "Marian" and the demo which to this day Herr Von still can't remember writing "Wide Receiver".

Kill the Lights




A

Flood II
Lucretia my reflection
Never Land
Untiteled
Driven like the snow
Flood I

Remasters Sampler


A
On The Wire
Blood Money
Bury Me Deep
Some Kind Of Stranger (early)
When You Don't See Me (remix)

B
Never Land (full length)
Emma
Long Train

A recent bootleg which appears to contain the bonus tracks recently released on the rereleases of the 3 albums. Nothing out of the ordinary if you have the cds.

Download


Enter the Sisters


Rereleases of all the early pre-falaa singles, without the Damage Done tracks. Again if you have Some Girls this is a bit pointless, but here it is anyway.

Download


Live at the Electric Garden



A1 Burn
A2 Valentine
A3 Anaconda (song)
A4 Temple Of Love
A5 Heartland

B1 Floorshow
B2 Body Electric
B3 Kiss The Carpet
B4 Alice
B5 Sister Ray


A live gig from Stockholm 1983 which has only seen recent release. Not a great sound quality, though a nice tracklisting nevertheless.

Download


Victims of Circumstance/The Last Magician of Rational Thought/Good Things plus 2 Live Tracks/Floorshow EP/Nightmares



Uploaded these all as one. "Victims of Circumstance" and "The Last Magician" contain a few Falaa demos and songs which were later to appear on the Mish's debut. "Nightmares" is a short live EP recorded in norwich '83 with a fantastic version of Jolene. "Good Things" is what it says on the tin, with Sister Ray/1969 as the B. And the Floorshow EP has the great Teachers-Adrenochrome medley.
