Peter Murphy – Love Hysteria

Tape variants - White cassette but also came as a clear cassette

This original Canadian edition has surpisingly good sound although compression tends to make it sound cluttered at times. I feel that this tends to lose it's verve by the end and the Bowie/Pop cover just doesn't gel for me.

I have a copy of this version and even after an ultrasonic cleaning my copy has so much noise it’s pretty disappointing. Not sure if I got a bad copy or what but the noise is fairly noticeable, unfortunately.

Curious, this version has an edit of Indigo Eyes present at 1-5.

Received all the records (I didn't purchase as a box set) today. It was a looong wait as I had pre-ordered ages ago. All are flat and clean, no damage during shipping! yay. So far they sound great. There's a small sticker on the Rarities album that says "Made in Czech Republic"

All the Bauhaus albums still sounds great to me, but this has not aged well. A lot of filler. And suprisingly dull version of Iggy's Funtime.

My copy is pretty flat, but unfortunately "My Last Two Weeks" is bad. Tons of pops and surface noise. Ruins it. So bummed it had to be this track and not Funtime which might have masked it a bit. Aside from that it's a pretty nice quiet pressing after a few plays. Gotta floss those grooves!

I don't know why the description of this says "indigo" vinyl when it's very obviously purple haha. My copy was flat and sounds fantastic to me. I got three of the Peter Murphy reissues (still waiting on Cascade) and was happy with all of them.

On my second copy and both are warped. Just received Deep and...... WARPED! Do I keep trying or ? These Beggars Arkive releases are maddening.

Well, I'm grateful that the amazing Peter Murphy's records are being repressed. However, I am the tiniest bit bummed that colored vinyl reissues are not also offered with a black vinyl option. It's pretty well reported that color vinyl does not possess the same quality as black (or raw/clear) vinyl. My record has quite a bit of noise compared to new black vinyl I have purchased. (Maybe I just got a less than perfect copy.) Nonetheless, 4 1/2 stars because the mix and packaging are very good. I just wish more emphasis was placed on quality over cosmetics.
