I have a UK pressing of Mask, the second Bauhaus album, released in 1981. Mask is a fantastic album, perhaps even the best Bauhaus album. The album cover, drawn by guitarist Daniel Ash, might be the best Bauhaus album jacket, at any rate. On Hair of the Dog, the album's opening track, Allmusic says:
"...opening number "Hair of the Dog," one of the band's best songs, starts with a double-tracked squalling guitar solo before turning into a stomping, surging flow, carefully paced by sudden silences and equally sudden returns to the music, while Murphy details cases of mental addictions in pithy phrases."
