The Sisters of Mercy - Part 1 [ReVamped!] - 1980 to 1985

It's time to revisit one the best known goth bands of all time...The Sisters of Mercy. I previously covered them about 10 years ago and thought it would be interesting to take a fresh look at a band with a legacy unlike many others. Led by Andrew Eldritch with the assistance of both man and machine, it's a journey both unique and winding as the creative control and rockstar lifestyles shape the way they interact with the world. Cameron and I take a look at their formation and up to the release of First and Last and Always in 1985 with a little bit of the continuing history.

Our new intro and outro song is "Boris Karloff's Alive" from the Gremlins E.P. by Dr.Sanders.
