More gothic drama than you can shake a broomstick at.
Beggars Archive, the sublabel that serves the back catalogue of all the Beggars imprints, will this month release a bumper boxset chronicling Bauhaus, the influential goth band founded in 1978 by Northampton youths Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins and David J.
Titled 5 Album Boxset, the collection contains the four albums Bauhaus recorded before their initial split in 1983 – In the Flat Field (1980), Mask (1981), The Sky’s Gone Out (1982) and Burning From the Inside (1983) – plus as a 20-track disc featuring singles, mixes and B-sides.
In the Flat Field and Mask are the remastered versions used for the previously released Omnibus editions, while The Sky’s Gone Out and Burning From the Inside have been newly remastered by Tony Cousins. The five-disc set is due out on Beggars Archive this month.
Earlier this year, Bauhaus singer Peter Murphy was sentenced to three years of probation after a drug-related hit-and-run incident in Los Angeles.
See the tracklists below and watch the video for Bauhaus’ ‘Spirit’, which features in the set:
