Mask (Omnibus Edition)

Recording for Bauhaus' sophomore long player commenced in early 1981 and the following nine months saw a broadening of their palette to construct a more ebullient album around the musical catharsis. Mask's entangled genesis is chronicled in this limited edition box-set which features unreleased early versions and rejected out-takes of many of the songs. Additionally, this release includes a complete 1981 live show that captures the band at their incendiary best.



This re-mastered set includes Mask, a second disc of the non-album singles, previously unreleased demos and alternative versions, and a third disc containing a newly mixed 1981 live show. It is presented as a limited edition box-set with the three CD's in Japenese-style paper sleeves, reproductions of the orginal (gatefold) vinyl cover art, and an accompanying 48 page book that traces the development of the album with rare memorabilia and photographs, as well as a complete set of lyrics.
