Strawberry Studios, Stockport

In summer 1984, i.e. in June and July 1984, The Sisters of Mercy recorded their first studio album

First And Last And Always at Strawberry Recording Studios in Stockport near Manchester.

With them was record producer Dave Allen.

By the end of July 1984, mixes for 18 songs were prepared on ten analogue master reels.


For the Rhino 2006 re-release of First And Last And Always the original sheet

with the list of these master reels was used as artwork for the CD-tray.

According to this page in another Wiki

In addition, some six further tracks were recorded

which did not refer to the planned album release.
