Bauhaus – Telegram Sam 12"

Keep up at the back, a quick recap. The group formed in 1978 in Northampton, England. Guitarist/vocalist Daniel Ash, bassist/vocalist David J (born David Jay Haskins), and drummer Kevin Haskins had played together as a trio called the Craze before forming Bauhaus with vocalist Peter Murphy. Originally, the band was called Bauhaus 1919 after the German art movement; by 1979, they had dropped the 1919 from their name. After touring America for the first time in September 1980, the group released their debut album, “In the Flat Field,” in October and a version of T. Rex's "Telegram Sam" was released as their fourth single on the influential 4AD Records label in December. “Telegram Sam” was written by Marc Bolan for T. Rex and appearing on their 1972 album The Slider. The lyrics feature numerous figures such as Bobby (who is a natural born poet who is just outta sight), Golden Nose Slim (who knows where you been), Jungle Faced Jake (make no mistake) and Purple Pie Pete (whose lips are like lightning and girls melt in the heat).
