Wanna buy something?
Say after me:

We've got platform feet
We are the queens of shopping
We live on Oxford street
You can do it in the bus by night
You can lick my blade
You can do it in the 25 stupid

Go Figure album
In October 1997, news broke that seemed to confirm previous dark rumours, that Eldritch had returned with a spoiler album. We feel that the events surrounding the album are probably best explained by quoting a press release issued at the time:
-
"SSV "Go Figure"
After years of stalemate, Mr Andrew Eldritch has managed to get East West
to accept (in lieu of two remaining Sisters albums) a record bearing
no resemblance whatsoever to The Sisters Of Mercy.
This album will be released -
which is just as well, as it's got practically nothing to do with the Sisters.
Furthermore, East West agreed not to hear the album in advance....
so it bears no resemblance to any quality product, let alone the Sisters.
....in return for which, Mr Eldritch agrees to let East West keep 75000 pounds
which they owe him, and which they were refusing to pay in any event.
Unsurprisingly in the circumstances, Mr Eldritch made sure that East West
got the record they deserve, but made sure that they then paid a lot more for it than he deserves....
....especially for one afternoon recording the occasional mumble
on the reject material of some amateur acquaintances from Hamburg. Go figure.
It is rumoured, indeed, that the whole album only took two days
from start to finish (somewhat less than the usual nine months),
and that the "rather bad sub-
and boring even before the drums were mysteriously removed.
The "lyrics" dwell almost exclusively on the glorification of shooting
people and selling drugs to schoolchildren.
It is rumoured that the full name of the band (SSV-
for "Screw shareholder value -
waste money on drugs and ammunition courtesy of the idiots at Time Warner". Go figure.
How desperate must the corporation be?
Desperate enough to try and force an artist to record
with threats of massive litigation after a seven-
expecting him to make a good record while witholding a fortune
in back-
amount" for a record which the artist neither wrote, nor composed,
nor arranged, nor produced, whose content is merely a puerile
attempt to be as offensive as possible? Go figure.
Finally, rumour has it that the record company are planning to release it,
which would, you might think, be a conscious insult to the general public
if East West were smart enough to know a pile of crap when they hear it.
Either way, go figure.
Anyway, Mr Eldritch is now free to resume his recording career
with The Sisters Of Mercy, who have been waiting very patiently for
him at a chemist's round the corner, and very sensibly having nothing
to do with the SSV album -
The Sisters will be celebrating the liberation with a small tour
of Europe and America in January/February, and the release
of a stonking new (Sisters) single on the day after Mr Eldritch's contract
officially expires, which will be a couple of months later.
Work has started on the next (Sisters) album.
Normal service has been resumed.
Oh, and in case you haven't got the picture,
we do NOT recommend the purchase of an SSV album,
should East West actually try to sell one to you.
We recommend that you wait for the magic of
the Net to mysteriously provide you with a free one -
