Title:	The Sky's Gone Out
Label:	4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	4M 511LP

"The Sky's Gone Out is Bauhaus' third full-length, originally released in 1982, and the band's first for A&M in States (in the UK it was released on Beggars Banquet). Despite the new major label home, this is by no means a selling-out or weakening of their sound and vision. Opening with a shredding run-through, the Brian Eno track 'Third Uncle,' The Sky's Gone Out features some of Daniel Ash's most thrilling guitar work (both electric and acoustic) and Peter Murphy's strongest lyrical content yet."

Title:	Burning From The Inside
Label:	4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	4M 512LP

"Burning From The Inside is the fourth release from this legendary British gothic rock outfit. Originally released in 1983, Burning From The Inside managed to succeed despite massive setbacks (before recording lead singer Peter Murphy was hospitalized with pneumonia) and features some of the strongest performances of the band's career, with inspired work from Murphy when he was able to return to recording, and the first lead vocal performances from bandmates Daniel Ash ('Slice Of Life') and David J ('Who Killed Mr. Moonlight'). Closer 'Hope' is probably the greatest send-off possible for one of the most important bands of the late '70s/early '80s."

Title:	Bela Lugosi's Dead (Slow To Speak RMX)
Label:	SLOW TO SPEAK
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	TEENY 103109EP

"A perfect heralding of the special morbidity that is Halloween, 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'---the obscure 12"-only masterpiece from indisputable goth/rock kings Bauhaus -- finds itself under the scruple of the scalpel wielded with curious biological fascination of self-endowed surgeons Slow To Speak. While his body remains mostly intact, a few 'arrangements' have been made to Mr. 'Lugosi's' corpse: the pettiness of a few vocal mishaps are swept away and the entire bone structure extended to uncanny length to produce a concentrated specimen of dark, funky percussive rock mastery. Not shying away from the allegedly childish implications of this special time, Slow To Speak embrace them ten-fold, blowing into their trumpets of dark calling the clear echo of gruesome display and musical fascination of aural celebration, the edit's stripped down, haunted wailings a cursed display of grotesque celebration that beckons forth the children of the night to put down their keyboards, espresso-machines and whatever other modern tools of wage-labor to march in unison to the dark calling of the equinox. Obviously this mutated savagery has made 'Lugosi's' corpse primed and ready for the party or individual autopsy, and for this purpose his remains should be exploited to the maximum effect. We can only hope that his spirit lives on through this especially limited, hand-silk-screened-sleeve release to haunt future generations unprepared for the fury of Bauhaus' exceptionally noteworthy work." One-sided release, with Sicksheep (Kenny B. Harris) etching on the B-side.
