The record sounds so good it's scary. Japanese pressings are amazing.

Bought vinyl new, factory sealed; however, slightly audible scratches and pops in some tracks.
2.5 stars for quality pressing.
5 stars for Bauhaus!

Little surface noise but that honestly gets drowned out real quick considering how this album is and the free CD is also nice

What a great release! Not only does the first album sound better than I can ever recall hearing it but you get the second album with the first three singles basically, on a 45 pressing and they sound amazinger! The whole thing is just incredible looking and even better sounding! Takes me back to the old Goth/Industrial clubs of the early to mid 90's! They were a staple on the floor!

If you want this version, me – I've got one spare copy.

If you are into this legendary album, you might enjoy listening to this french project : https://discogs.futbolgratis.org/master/55399-Danse-Macabre-Danse-Macabre
They do an atmsopheric cover of Stygmata Martyr and then drift into a dark, cold moody mini LP definitively worth listening ! Recorded in 1983 you will get how incredibly influent and inspiring Bauhaus were back then.

I heard things on this pressing I’d never heard before, and I’ve had other various pressings since the 80’s. It’s like hearing it for the first time again. Well worth picking a copy up. I have become a massive fan of Japanese pressings recently, it’s a revelation.

Such a nice album. Side 1 is the best. Cover art is also amazing! Pressing could be better though. Mine has a some surface noise, and I really need to crank the volume. Audio quality is fine, I think the music wasn’t recorded for hifi.
