UK first pressing of The Sky’s Gone Out by Bauhaus on Beggars Banquet (BEGA 42), released 1982. This copy is the original single LP issue, not the later double version with the live disc. Vinyl grades NM, retaining a deep gloss with only the faintest signs of handling and no feelable marks; plays clean and powerful throughout. Original picture sleeve is EX, with sharp edges, strong colour and only light storage wear. Labels are clean, spindle wear is minimal. Matrix/runouts read A1 “WHEN IS A DOOR NOT A DOOR” / B1 “WHEN IT IS A DUCASSE”, confirming an early UK first press. A definitive post-punk/goth LP with strong collector demand, especially in this condition.
