Sisters of Mercy - Some Girls Wander By Mistake (1992)

 An awesome compilation of pre-First Last And Always material. The songs here were written before Andrew’s infamous break-up with his one true love (Goth-Bono aka Wayne Hussey), so you won’t find any scathings insights, Cold War metaphors, observations on relationships or descriptions on how much Andrew hates England. What you will find instead is extremely dark, moody, danceable songs.

Sisters of Mercy - Body And Soul EP (1984)

 Considered one of the band’s seminal releases by fans, this single demonstrates how much of a “singles” band The Sisters were.”Afterhours” makes your blood turn cold and “Train” is a great driving precursor to “Lucretia”. Sure, you had to get hold of their overwhelming THREE albums to date, but the singles almost always included songs that were just as good or better than those on full length releases. Body and Soul became one of the group’s staples, and not without reason.
