Doesn't have to have been properly released in any format, there's a huge treasure trove of these things on youtube now. Lets get the good ones archived, right here. This is a pretty stunning example of The Sisters of Mercy in their prime (pretty much before they released anything):

The Sisters of Mercy in their prime That was awesome. I saw The Sisters Of Mercy in their prime and live they sounded just like that Peel session you posted.

What I wouldn't give to have seen 'em in their early days. I almost posted their 1984 session too, didn't want to goth out the thread just yet, but it has a great version of "Emma", one of the finest cover versions by anyone. I did see 'em live, probably about 15 years ago, and they were absolutely atrocious. I'll never forget the disappointment of thinking "...was that Floorshow? I think it probably was". Just a crappy rock band these days.

Just a crappy rock band these days. Funny that you specifically mentioned "Floorshow." I saw them I guess it was '84 or '85 and I still can vividly remember "Floorshow." It was played with great energy and really had some bite and grit to it (like the version in your Peel post) and all these years later I can still hear it and see it in my head. I totally recall one guy in the crowd on his buddy's shoulders (doing that Goth dance thing) and he flicked his hands in the air totally in synch with the song's lyric "slow, slow, quick, quick slow." The crowd was really into "Floorshow." That show back then was truly great. I was lucky to see them then. They had the classic Sisters lineup (Eldritch, Wayne, Craig, and Gary) and they were at the top of their game. They also looked insanely cool. I still remember Eldritch's pants -- shreded to hell Levis, but he had black leggings underneath. Cool look. Today people actually buy ripped jeans, never understood that. Eldritch's Levis were ripped to pieces and he did all he could (leggings underneath) so that he could still wear them in public. I often have a second layer of jeans sewn into the legs of my ripped Levis. Got that idea from that Sisters show. Also have to add that I sure remember a shitload of smoke. If a fire broke out in the club, we sure wouldn't have known.

Another Birthday Party one:
Never properly recorded in the studio or played again live, as far as I know.

Ah, the beloved Wedding Present. Grab a drink, relax, and let the last 5 minutes of instrumental bliss just wash over ye. Alternatively, just dance your mad ass off to it. Take Me I'm Yours (Peel Session)

Not heard it yet myself, as I'm listening to their debut album. But you'd think it'd have to be essential listening.
