Waste of money

"These Beggars Banquet licensed Japanese LP replica editions are shoddy. The audio masters used are exactly the same as the original Bauhaus CDs which came out in 1988. They sound okay, but nowhere near as good as the recent Beggars Banquet reissues of the first 4 Love & Rockets albums. The inner sleeves are reproduced onto wafer thin, very cheap single sheet paper. The Sky's Gone Out does not include the live album, despite claiming to be a replica of the original vinyl release which included Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape. Even if you're an avid Bauhaus collector, avoid these. Save the money for the surely not too distant day when somebody (Beggars Banquet?) finally releases some definitive Bauhaus items for the collector, like some visual material (loads of footage exists from 1978 to 1998) or properly remastered CDs."
