BAUHAUS

My favourite band.

No other words are needed.

Bauhaus:

Peter Murphy: vocals

Daniel Ash: guitar

David J: bass

Kevin Haskins: drums

In this topic I'll show you my personal collection about this band from Northampton, England; probably the most famous dark-wave band from early '80s.
My favourite, of course!!!!!

In my collection I have not only Lp's or 45's, but other material; I will update this topic with pics of these.

I own first four albums, the four released in early '80s:

1- In The Flat Field, original first UK release from 1980;

2- Mask, UK reissue from 1981;

3- The Sky's Gone Out, original first UK release from 1982, with additional Press Eject And Give Me The Tape additional Lp;

4- Burning From The Inside, last album and obviously first UK release from 1983.

Burning From The Inside is not the last album of the band. Last official album seems to be Go Away White from 2008, but generally I'm not interested in music production from the end of the '90s till today, because I like NOTHING of this era, a black screen, in my own opinion.

I started listening Bauhaus in 2007, when I was 20; I had the famous CD copilation from 1986 called Bauhaus - 1979-1983 volume 1 and 2... and finally in 2014 I started a collection of original Lps and other material of the band.

So,

I will start and move forward in chronological order, showing you my copy of

In The Flat Field, first Bauhaus album, original 1980 4AD UK release:

Mask, second Beggars Banquet (no longer 4AD) album of the band in this gatefold sleeve wonderful UK reissue from 1981:

The Sky's Gone Out, the third Beggars Banquet album by the band;

here we have a release from 19 Oct. 1982 with Press Eject And Give Me The Tape, an additional record with WONDERFUL live performances and the best version of Bela Lugosi's Dead ever released, in my opinion.

The Sky's Gone Out is my favorite Bauhaus album; I also own CD and cassette releases of it.

Press Eject And Give Me The Tape

Burning From The Inside, the final album by Bauhaus, released in 1983. Here's my original UK copy from july '83:

No more albums from the 80s.

Bauhaus reeased other albums in the early 2000s, but I'm not interested in them and I don't think I'll ever get them.

So, I can start now to show you some other material by the band such as, singles, compilations and live recordings.

Well, let's start with The Singles 1981-1983, a compilation released in 1983 made in West Germany, that contains six tracks;

I'm particularly attached to this record because it is the first Bauhaus record that I've bought; I found it in 2014 at a flea market in a little medieval town here around - nice atmosphere!

Bauhaus 4AD, another interesting 12" compilation that contains some singles released by the band; here's my original UK release from October 1983:
