Album Description
Available in:
In the Flat Field is the debut studio album by English gothic rock band Bauhaus. It was released on 1 October 1980 by record label 4AD. It is considered one of the first gothic rock records.
Following a 30-date tour, Bauhaus set out to Southern Studios in London to record their first album. As the band had a clear conception of what they wanted the record to sound like, they opted to produce it themselves. While most of the album was completed with the planned release date of September 1980, the group found it difficult to record a version of "Double Dare" as good as the one they performed on disc jockey John Peel's BBC Radio 1 programme. Bauhaus applied to the BBC to use the Peel sessions version, but due to obstructions from the Musicians Union the process took over a month.
In the Flat Field was released on 1 October 1980. It topped the independent charts, and peaked on the UK Albums Chart at number 72.
The album was first released on CD by 4AD in April 1988, with eight bonus tracks including the singles "Dark Entries", "Terror Couple Kill Colonel" and a cover of T. Rex's "Telegram Sam". Five of these bonus tracks had been previously compiled on the 4AD EP in 1983. On October 19, 2009, 4AD/Beggars Banquet reissued the album as an Omnibus Edition, featuring the 24-bit remastered CD of the original 9-track album in a replica mini-LP sleeve (with corresponding inner sleeve featuring the lyrics), plus a 16-song bonus disc of singles, outtakes, alternate recordings and original versions. The set comes inside a semi-long box, coupled with a 48-page book that includes comments from band members, photos, complete lyrics, complete tour date information for 1979 and 1980 and an essay by Kevin Brooksbank on the formation and creation of the band, the singles and the album.
