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.

The Sisters of Mercy - Vision Thing

So far the latest studio album by the British "Goth"/Post-punk/Hard rock band The Sisters of Mercy. Vision Thing was released on November 13th, 1990 on EastWest records. By now, the Sisters had abandoned their Post-punk sound for a more Hard Rock influenced sound. Arguably the first attempt to combine Goth rock with Hard rock (apologies to Andrew Eldritch for using the "G" word). So technically, proto gothic metal, in the words of Andrew Eldritch "A fine album". Q Magazine included it in their Fifty Best Albums of 1990'. The album itself is a criticism of then president George Bush, the title is taken from an interview with George Bush, when suggested that he focused more on long term policies rather than short term ones, he responded "Oh, the vision thing.

The Sisters of Mercy - Some Girls Wander by Mistake

A 1992 album by the great Post-punk/Goth/Alternative rock masters The Sisters of Mercy. (apologies to Andrew Eldritch for using the G word). The album is entirely composed of singles, b-sides, rarities and covers that weren't seen on regular studio albums. Ranging from the years 1980-1983 and yes I know The Sisters have been around for some time. Anyway its a good album if your into proto-goth post-punk music. I recommend it to any fans of The Sisters of Mercy and "Gothic" (apologies again) music. Enjoy.

The Sisterhood - Giving Ground (Single)

The Sisterhood were a short lived side project of Sisters of Mercy frontman Andrew Eldritch. The project was formed by Eldritch because at the time (1986) Eldritch had become the only remaining member of The Sisters of Mercy from the First and Last and Always era as all the other bandmembers had left, so Eldritch formed the Sisterhood simply to make sure that his ex-bandmates wouldn't make use of the name. Anyway its a good "Gothic rock"/Post-punk single (apologies to Andrew Eldritch for using the "G" word).

Tracklist:

1. Giving Ground (RSV)

2. Giving Ground (AV)

All songs written and composed by Andrew Eldritch, and produced by Eldritch and Lucas Fox.

*note: These two versions of Giving Ground aren't the same as the one on The Sisterhood's only full album Gift.
