The Sisters of Mercy - Body and Soul EP

This is a now rare EP by the British Goth band The Sisters of Mercy, that was released in 1984 on the Sisters own Merciful Release label. Now, Andrew Eldritch has, since the 90's, claimed that the Sisters aren't a goth band. Okay seriously, maybe he now wants to move on from that reputation. But back then, lets face it, you had Patricia Morrison on bass, now I read an article saying that Eldritch only picked Morrison for bass not because she was a good bassist (she is) but because of her gothic pin up appearence. Plus look at the album art, the two romans in the night looks extremely dark and well somewhat gothic. For more info on the sisters of mercy, visit this link.

Tracklist:

1. Body and Soul
2. Body Electric
3. Train
4. Afterhours

Note: the Body Electric here is an alternative version to the same song on the Some Girls Wander By Mistake compilation.

  1. thanks too. And this was released three or four years before patricia morrison joined the band. at the time she was in the gun club. if eldritch claims that his is not a goth band, well, he is probably right, just a dirty rock band with a drum computer. morrison came from a dirty rock band with a drummer. of course, catering to bats does make for a good living.
