Now Available: The Sisters of Mercy, SOME GIRLS WANDER BY MISTAKE

If you’re an alternative music fan whose tastes came of age in the ‘80s, then you know just how influential the Sisters of Mercy were, but those who were first introduced to the band during the FLOODLAND era, when everyone was thrilling to the sounds of “This Corrosion” and “Lucretia My Reflection,” may remain unaware of the groundbreaking material that was being released by the band a few years earlier.

Since the Sisters of Mercy are in the midst of touring Europe this month, this would be the perfect time to expand your knowledge of the band’s catalog, and – what luck! – we just happen to have released a new vinyl box set that focuses on their early years.

SOME GIRLS WANDER BY MISTAKE, which was originally released in 1992, features three songs the group originally issued in 1980 ("The Damage Done," "Watch" and "Home Of The Hit-Men"), their 1982 follow-up single ("Body Electric" and "Adrenochrome"),as well as the ALICE EP, the REPTILE HOUSE EP, the “Temple of Love” single and its B-sides, the 1992 re-recording of “Temple of Love” featuring Ofra Haza and its B-side, and the “Under the Gun” 12” and its B-sides.
