Although originally released in 1979, this is a 1988 repressing on blue vinyl. Small Wonder Records went to great lengths to capitalize on the growing fame of Bauhaus, even though the band had left for a different label. To that end, this EP was released several times with a few different colours of vinyl. According to Wikipedia, this track is "often considered to be the first gothic rock record to be released." I guess that's probably true.
For many years, I felt that Bela Lugosi's Dead was my favourite song. I am certain that this is no longer true. In fact, as I age, I have a harder time deciding what my favourite song is or even if I have one. What's the point of a favourite song anyway?
