DESCRIPTION:
1982 Goth Rock LP Repreesed on White Vinyl - Released in 1982, this is a live album, compiled from shows across the UK from 1981–82. Press the Eject features a striking version of John Cale’s “Rosegarden Funeral Of Sores”, a particularly spooky run-through of “Hollow Hills” that out-creeps the studio version on Mask, and the punk rock fuzz-out of “Dark Entries”. Of course, “Bela…” appears here as well, in a luxurious nine-and-a-half-minute version. Washed in feedback and ever-sosubtly accelerating and decelerating, this song is the true center of “Goth” mythology.
Late 2018 will mark the 40th anniversary of Bauhaus. To celebrate, Beggars Arkive is reissuing six records from the band’s catalogue on limited edition coloured vinyl.
Formed in 1978, The legendary and hugely influential quartet hailed from Northampton, England and is comprised of Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins. The dark, dramatic music that they made, possessed far more force, variety and playfulness than the "founding fathers of goth" tag that is always attached to them.
Bauhaus' landmark debut album, In the Flat Field, came out towards the end of 4AD's first eventful year. Following the plan at the time, the band then "moved upstairs" to Beggars Banquet, for whom they cut three further albums before dissolving in 1983. They charted with their cover of David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust”, they’ve been and namechecked by everyone from Nine Inch Nails, Sepultura, Janes Addiction, MGMT, Interpol, Bjork, Nirvana and more. They remain a huge cult concern, periodically reforming to wow their legions of dedicated followers.

Last FM Information on Bauhaus

Bauhaus were an English rock band formed in Northampton in 1978. Known for their dark image and atmospheric sound, they are considered pioneers of gothic rock, while also incorporating elements of dub, glam rock, psychedelia, and funk. The band consisted of Daniel Ash (guitar, saxophone), Peter Murphy (vocals, occasional instruments), Kevin Haskins (drums), and David J (bass).
Originally named Bauhaus 1919 after the founding year of the German art school Bauhaus, the group shortened their name within a year of formation. Their 1979 debut single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead," is regarded as a seminal track in the development of gothic rock and has influenced contemporary goth culture. Their debut album, "In the Flat Field," is considered one of the first gothic rock records. The 1981 follow-up, "Mask," expanded their sound with a broader range of instruments, including keyboards, saxophone, and acoustic guitar, and experimented with funk-inspired rhythms on tracks such as "Kick in the Eye."
Bauhaus achieved mainstream success in the United Kingdom with their third album, "The Sky's Gone Out," which reached number three on the UK Albums Chart in 1982. That year, their cover of David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" reached number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, earning them an appearance on "Top of the Pops." During the recording of their next album, Peter Murphy fell ill and was often absent from the studio, creating tensions that led to the band's breakup on July 5, 1983, one week before the release of "Burning from the Inside." The album included the Top 30 UK single "She's in Parties" and was their last studio album of entirely new material for 25 years.
After Bauhaus disbanded, Murphy formed Dalis Car with bassist Mick Karn and later pursued a solo career, while Ash and Haskins continued as Tones on Tail and later reunited with David J to form Love and Rockets. Murphy and Love and Rockets achieved greater commercial success in the United States than Bauhaus. The band reunited for tours in 1998, from 2005 to 2008, and again in 2019 and 2022.
