Morning chaps.

Great Severin cover, beautiful book.

Scans are of the exact book being sold, so please review closely for all tears, folds, missing parts, stains, etc. The book is complete inside and pages are commensurate with age, off white, and browning. I am not an expert, but from reading the grading scales this book has conditions associated with the VF 8.0 range.

All boardies, of course.

...heavy metal meets punk rock! I'll go with that.

GOOD AFTERNOON, GENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought this band were somewhat tight.

As long as they played Lucretia, This Corrosion and Marian then I'd go as well! Not sure they are guaranteed to play the classics, however. Eldritch was always a guy to confound audiences.

Saw Bauhaus once in 1980 or thereabouts. Saw the Birthday Party too. Wish I'd seen Bauhaus more times. They were great. The music critics had it in for them, for some reason - go figure.

Have you ever seen them before?

Must've been a hellish scene to do, what with falling into the Thames...

It has its moments. Ribbons, the title track and Dr. Jeep are good songs. More metallic than Floodland. Floodland is much better. Agreed.

The early Sisters were great (get Some Girls Wander By Mistake for the complete early years). The first album (First And Last And Always) had some good songs but the production was weak. They were much better live. Obviously Eldritch still has a devoted fanbase, even now. And I remember seeing NMA back in the day, at least a couple of times. 51 State was more or less an audience singalong. Vengeance (the song!) was always a favourite at The Kit Kat Klub and The Slimelight (Goth clubs I admit I went to quite a lot in my carefree days - The Slimelight is still going!).

Andrew Eldritch still tours as (with a bunch of hired musicians) The Sisters. He is now 55, has lost all his hair and doesn't dress even remotely Gothic anymore. He hasn't released an album since 1990's Vision Thing, and won't allow video cameras at his concerts. I last saw the Sisters when they were supporting Depeche Mode in 1993. Wayne Hussey periodically revives the Mission for the odd Goth festival. I last saw the Mission some time in the late 80s. Was never that big a fan of them. Craig Adams formed the Mission with Hussey and has also been with various other bands, including the Cult and Spear Of Destiny (or Theatre Of Hate, or both, I don't remember). He has returned to the Mission every so often. Never seen The Cult live but I once saw Spear Of Destiny at a festival. They were pants. Gary Marx has essentially retired from the music biz after his band Ghost Dance failed to ignite commercially, although he does still release the odd album occasionally.

Great books, no doubt assembled back when they were very affordable.

I think it will be. (thumbs u
