Bauhaus – Crackle

Great Best-of compilation for those wanting to explore Bauhaus or want to instantly collect their singles without delving deep into their studio albums, singles and EPs, although their entire catalog is strong enough to be on this album! The version of Bela Lugosi's Dead on here is the Tomb Raider mix, which is odd that they added a different version than the original, but it isn't all that altered and sounds fantastic on its own. Other than that, as this was pressed at GZ there is a slight bit of noise in between tracks and leading into the first track of each side, but that is easily overlooked as the overall sound quality is fantastic!

Fantastic sounding pressing. Care has been taken with the remastering, it's powerful but never overblown. "Terror Couple Kill Colonel" has always been my favourite song and it sounds incredible.I thoroughly recommend this album if you're new to Bauhaus or even a dedicated fan.This is the 2018X version bought at my local independent in the UK and is Ruby Red.

This is a Great Album, totally worth it for Ziggy and Bela alone!!

FYI I bought this variant with the 2018X on the back vs 2018 minus the X and it was pink as well, not transparent red.

This color variant should NOT be called "RUBY RED"! It is more like "Pepto Bismol" PINK. It is opaque pink as opposed to translucent deep red.

VERY DISAPPOINTED with the version I receved on "RUBY RED" vinyl!!! NOT even CLOSE to the "translucent" red vinyl!!!

No problems with my copy. Sounds as good as the 1998 CD and the "1979-1983" vinyl.

While neat to have an alternate version of Bela Lugosi's Dead I still wish it were the original single version since that's the version I know so well. I'm sure people who own the single will disagree with me. Just my opinion though.
