I just learned that Beggars Banquet is releasing a 2CD set called
"Crackle: Best of Bauhaus". To see the album art, featuring the
photography of Dominic Davies and Timothy O'Donnell's design, see

I just heard about this thing today.  Since I only have a couple of
Bauhaus releases (on tape and vinyl), I'll probably pick it up. Right now
I just want it for the design! Looks goood.

BAUHAUS "Crackle"
Beggars Banquet
BEGL2018CD
 
Hey, now this is a good compilation!  After being given what seems to be
an annual Bauhaus compilation of some sort or another, Beggars unleashes
this interesting career retrospective that isn't just a greatest hits
package.  This collection features pre-Beggars era "Bela Lugosi's Dead",
a bunch of 4AD tracks and a smattering of well-picked Beggars years
stuff.  What stikes me about this CD is how well it's sequenced and the
actual choice of songs used.  The art is from v23 contributor Timothy
O'Donnell and Dominic Davies and looks fantastic.  Even if you're
familiar with Bauhaus or looking for a place to to start exploring the
group, "Crackle" is a great place to begin...
