Bauhaus "Swing the Heartache: The BBC Sessions (1989)

Swing the Heartache: The BBC Sessions (compilation)
release date: Jul. 18, 1989
format: vinyl 2 lp (BEGA 103) / cd
[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,38]
producer: ['BBC Radio broadcast recordings']

A double compilation album by Bauhaus released six years after the band split in '83.
I never really played the album that much, as it contains no big surprises. Of course, being recordings for radio broadcasts, the tracks are different from the studio album releases but they don't add much new, nor tell another story. So basically, this is just a collector's item.
