Go Figure

typical SSV promo cassette

Go Figure is the name of the SSV album,

and the title under which this album was to be released.

Presumed SSV Album Artwork for Go Figure LP and CD


However, an official release has never come into real,

although promotional copies of various formats,

for example the Feel No Pain Picture Disc

or cassettes like this one were spread around the world.


Anyway, you might want to read here, what The Sisters of Mercy's Official Site have had to say

about SSV, the Go Figure album and all the tedious circumstances around it some decades ago ...


As for the track list, the original artwork from the promo cassette (see left) suggests it as follows:

typical promo cassette cover


A-Side
  1. Nice   6:16
  2. Knife, Paper, Stone And Guns                            8:11
  3. Two In The Nose   6:03
  4. Bad Vultee   4:58
  5. Gone   6:58
  6. Drugsar   9:31


B-Side
  7. High School   8:20
  8. Feel No Pain   6:33
  9. Go Figure 11:13
10. Shut The Fuck Up                                              6:16



Conclusions

Out of all these songs, High School fares the best, as the drums in all other songs were
cut out at the last minute. Most Sisters fans would recommend that one does not buy this album,
although since it features Eldritch, many do listen to it, and some even like it.

As far as techno without drums goes, it's not a bad album, although the Sisters themselves recommend
you download the album rather than paying for a copy from eBay or another source.

It's said that WEA have remixed two of theses tracks, though they have not surfaced yet.
