Left On Mission and Revenge

From which song is 'I don't sleep, so I don't dream, so I don't wake up frightened' a fragment?

In total the Sisters of Mercy released 3 full cds and 2 greatest hits collections. Every fan knows there are dozens of bootleg CD's available. I'm looking for the title of a bootleg greatest hits collection, featuring their singles and backsides from '85 until '88. Who can help me?

Some Kind Of Stranger

Although I stated in question 4 there were only 3 full cds released, there is a fourth CD. Because they wanted to terminate the relationship with their record company, the Sisters made in 1997 quickly a full CD which is unbelievably bad (some kind of ambient trip hop?). Although Andrew Eldritch warned the fans not to buy it, some of them did (hey, everything for the collection, no?). Who knows the name of this horrible CD?

The name of the tour from 1998 was, as usual, one with a deeper meaning. This time it meant the same as the position in a black hole from which light cannot escape anymore. Do you know the name?

The Crow

Which Pink Floyd song has been the opening song of many Sisters concerts?

The biggest hit of this group is probably 'The Temple Of Love', which appeared in October 1983. In 1992 the same song was re-recorded with guest vocals of Offra Haza. Another huge hit from the end of 1982 named 'Alice' has also been re-recorded in the 90's. True or false?

In 1985 they split at the end of the 'Tune in, Turn on, Burn out' tour. Their last concert was in London on 18 June 1985, do you know where ?
