Description

Press The Eject And Give Me The Tape is Bauhaus' first live album, released in 1982 and capturing the band at the height of their early career. Recorded across performances in London and Liverpool during 1981 and 1982, the album perfectly showcases the intensity, theatricality and raw power that made Bauhaus one of the pioneers of gothic rock.

Featuring explosive live versions of Bela Lugosi's Dead, In The Flat Field, Kick In The Eye, Dark Entries, Stigmata Martyr, The Spy In The Cab and a haunting cover of Rosegarden Funeral Of Sores, the album remains one of the finest live documents of the post-punk era.
