NEWSAGENT'S DESCRIPTION

This listing is for an original 1985 UK pressing of Tones On Tail, the post-breakup compilation by cult British gothic rock and post-punk trio Tones On Tail, released by Situation Two (SITU 12). Formed by Bauhaus guitarist Daniel Ash with Glenn Campling and later Bauhaus drummer Kevin Haskins, Tones On Tail existed for only a brief period before Ash and Haskins formed Love and Rockets, making the group a crucial bridge between two of the most influential names in alternative and gothic rock.

This original UK compilation was pressed by Damont and gathers material from the band's short but adventurous recording career. Its ten-track program draws from early releases and singles, showcasing the group's distinctive mixture of dark post-punk atmosphere, electronics, experimental textures, and dance-oriented rhythms. 

Housed in its original cardboard jacket, this record has been play tested and ultrasonically cleaned.
