Artists commentary

  • Andrew Eldritch (1982): "We made a tape once and took it down to Rough Trade. Geoff Travis gave it one listen, it was 18 minutes long, lotsa tracks, tapped his feet all the way through and turned round and said 'It's like Bauhaus!'"
  • Gary Marx (1983): "Andy went to see The Furs a long time ago and gave them our first tape, which they liked and gave to various people, including their manager."
