Description
BAUHAUS ~ Bela Lugosi's Dead ~ 1st Pressing 12” White Vinyl
VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION - LOOKS BARELY PLAYED.
SLEEVE IS GENERALLY IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A SMALL (3cm) SEAM SPLIT.
First vinyl pressing in August 1979 was on white vinyl (5000 units) and sold within a matter of weeks, followed by numerous re-pressings within the first few months of release, all on black vinyl, sometimes with spined sleeves, sometimes not, starting September 1979 with demand continuing until early 1980. Thereafter there have been various represses/reissues starting in the mid-/late '80s including the following: - black vinyl with black-on-white sleeve - clear vinyl with brown-on-white sleeve - opaque pink vinyl with pink-on-white sleeve - transparent green vinyl with green-on-white sleeve - opaque blue vinyl with blue-on-white sleeve - transparent purple vinyl with purple-on-white sleeve - glow-in-the-dark picture disc with clear plastic sleeve. "Dark Entries (demo)" is not listed as a track on the vinyl release, but it does appear on the record.
A fascinating insight into the making of the record, including interview with band members and Small Wonder label owner/manager Pete Stennett can be read in an interview for Uncut magazine here … https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/bauhaus-on-bela-lugosis-dead-it-was-the-stairway-to-heaven-of-the-1980s-123408/
