The Sisters Of Mercy | Oslo Broadcast 1985 (2lp) | 2LP

The Sisters Of Mercy are a rock band formed in Leeds, UK, in 1980 by singer Andrew Eldritch and guitarist Gary Marx. Their dark subject matter, literary references, cavernous reverb and black record sleeves led the music press to describe them as a goth rock act, though the band has always rejected that description. The band released its debut album, First And Last And Always, in March 1985, after five years of independent releases that had built a large cult following.

Oslo Broadcast 1985 is a 2 disc vinyl LP by The Sisters of Mercy, issued by The Bauhaus Label and released on 20 March 2026. The album is listed as an unofficial release. The recording was made live at Vikateatret in Oslo, Norway, on 16 May 1985. Two tracks were recorded for The Old Grey Whistle Test at BBC Studios in London on 2 April 1985.
