As previously promised with the announcement of the Bela Session EP, the Beggars Arkive imprint will continue the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Bauhaus this autumn with special limited-edition, colored-vinyl reissues of the Godfathers of Goth’s 4 studio LPs, as well as the 1982’s confiscated live bootleg that began an album Press Eject and Give Me the Tape and the best of collection Crackle, which is now celebrating its 20th anniversary.
The new vinyl pressings were mastered from HD audio files that were transferred from the original tapes. The first set of reissues are set for release on October 26th with the band’s 1980 debut album In the Flat Field coming on bronze vinyl and 1981’s Mask on yellow vinyl.
Next up, on November 23, is 1982’s The Sky’s Gone Out being issued on violet vinyl and the live album Press Eject and Give Me the Tape on white vinyl.
Lastly, on December 7th, 1983’s Burning on the Inside will be issued on blue vinyl and the 1998 compilation Crackle (now including a “Tomb Raider” mix of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”) is being re-released on “ruby ” vinyl, which is certainly a nod to the band’s 40th Anniversary celebration.
All of the vinyl reissues are available for pre-order on the Beggars Arkive website.
Bauhaus previously announced the release of a special edition Bela Session’s EP, included the Band’s debut single along with 4 other tracks, 3 being unreleased, all recorded during their original recording session at Beck Studios on January 26th, 1979.
Additionally, Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy and David J are hitting the road together this Autumn to celebrate Bauhaus’ 40th anniversary billed as the “The Ruby Celebration Tour”.
