Bela Lugosi's Dead

Nine minutes of goth rock titled "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by the band Bauhaus was released in August of 1979. The song is considered by many to be the first "Goth" song to be released. Bauhaus the four member band from Northampton, England consisted of Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins. They went into the studio in January of 1979 and recorded the song live in a single take. The lyric section does not start until several minutes into the recording. The song did not chart on its original release and it took a re-release in 1988 for it to become a major hit for the band, five years after their break up.
"Bela Lugosi's Dead" went onto become the bands biggest hit after being featured in several film soundtracks. The band and the song are featured in Tony Scott's "The Hunger". This use propelled the song to become a hit.
Original vinyl copies are very collectable the most of all being the glow in dark picture disc in the clear palstic sleeve.

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Logosi's dead
Undead undead undead
