The Sisters Of Mercy: Shot Rev 2.0 (1992)

A standard collection of music videos from the era before YouTube made the same thing easily attainable to anyone with internet connectivity. They’re very much TSoM in essence. Eldritch is instantly recognisable in his tailored suits and shades, playing hide and seek in foreign-looking places. Patricia Morrison features, adding big hair, allure and mystery.
It omits some of the earlier videos (Body and Soul, Walk Away, No Time To Cry, Black Planet), so points deducted for that. Everything else in included, though, right up to Under the Gun. Temple of Love is the 1992 rerelease with the amazing voice of Ofra Haza, but it’s the edited 7” version.
