This was the first single by the great British Post-punk band Bauhaus. Its often viewed as being the beginning of the Gothic Rock genre (I disagree, it was Post-punk, proto-Goth). Anyways there have been two versions of this single. On composed with the A-side being Bela Lugosi is Dead and B-side being Boys. And one with the above tracks plus a demo version of Dark Entries on the B-side after Boys. This here is the latter version of the record. This single/EP has been continously in print for the past 30 years and the titile track wasn't availble on a format other than vinyl until the release of the greatest hits compilation Crackle-The Best of Bauhaus. Anyways its a great recommendation to anybody willing to discover Bauhaus or anyone new to "Gothic" music in general.note: Apologies to Daniel Ash, Bauhuas guitarist, I know you dislike of the Goth term applied to your music.
