Tune in, turn on, burn out...

... was basically the theme of not only this 1985 spring tour of the UK. Maybe it was a first hint at the condition the band was in for after the final gig in Brighton, founding member Gary Marx left The Sisters of Mercy.
Support act during this tour were The Scientists with Lucas Fox, who had stepped in on drums.

On 8 March 1985 The Sisters of Mercy released the No Time To Cry single. With Blood Money and Bury Me Deep, the single featured two songs that would hardly - if ever - be performed live in the coming decades.

First And Last And Always, The Sisters first studio album, followed on March 11th, 1985. Both releases were widely promoted in the media, accompanied by the according tour dates, (see the pictures below).
