Bauhaus - Crackle: Best of Bauhaus (Ruby Vinyl)

Bauhaus are the founding fathers of goth rock, creating a minimalistic, overbearingly gloomy style of post-punk rock driven by jagged guitar chords and cold, distant synthesizers. This original 1998 compilation makes it onto vinyl. The tracks have been re-sequenced for the format and there's a special substitution of an unreleased hybrid mix of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" featuring a 1982 studio vocal over a live backing track. The two disc set is packaged in a gatefold sleeve and, with under 20 minutes playing time per side, the cut is loud with minimum compression.

Heavyweight RUBY RED vinyl pressed by Beggar's Banquet in 2018.
