A single release by Bauhaus. The A-track single is from the forthcoming album The Sky's Gone Out but here it's released in a rather different version, which was one of my favourite tracks of the early 1980s gothic rock. It contains both the gothic and post-punk dark style and with the addition of a more pop-styled version of the band's music, as it also appears on "She's in Parties".
The picture disc edition was a limited issue, and the cover art is a replica of Oscar Schlemmer's Bauhaus logo from 1922 for the German art and design school.
