Bauhaus, Press the Eject and Give Me The Tape, 1982 on Beggars Banquet
Live album from Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David Haskins, and David J, recorded in London and Liverpool in 1981 and 1982. I always loved this cover – a photo by Eugene Merinov – and the labels with the Bauhaus style faces in black and white. Great set of live versions, including a nine-and-a-half minute “Bela…
