Strange - as was the decision for the production crew to pack up when they did, if they didn't we would have had "Ghost Rider" and "Louie Louie" as well. Train was another one missed off the video as well. What we did get, however, was the majority of the first album "First And Last And Always" with the earliest track being the favourite (even today) "Alice". ...moreCustomer Sisters of Mercy - Videos Reviews (3)

"Wake (Choruses From Under The Rock)" marks the end or an era for The Sisters Of Mercy - the last time they played as the "classic" line up of Hussey, Adams and Eldrtich.

In my lowly opinion, 'This Corrosion' was the greatest music promo ever made. This song, a totally Dionysian exercise in everything over-the-top and soulful, was intesified by the image of Andrew Eldritch, everyones favorite dark den of the mysterious and existential swordfish, presides over the rejected and disenchanted remnants of an outcast society amidst the thundering rain and twisted metal and rust, all the while Patricia Morrisson- the Lol Tulhurst of the Sisters, parades in black leather and pretends to play bass, all making for a sublime video and song which will make the hairs on the back of your kneck stand up. Well, SHot 2.0 is the refined version of . Read the complete review
