Burning from the Inside [Bonus Tracks] (1983)

If The Sky's Gone Out felt like a collection of various recordings, Burning from the Inside really was one, due in large part to outside events -- Peter Murphy had fallen victim to a life-threatening illness, so the rest of the band began recording without him which, more than anything else, foreshadowed both Bauhaus' breakup and the trio's future work as Love and Rockets.
