"Bela Lugosi's Dead" is a song by English post-punk band Bauhaus. The song was the band's first single, released on 6 August 1979 by record label Small Wonder, and is often considered the first gothic rock record. == Content == The single featured the B-side "Boys" and some versions also include a portion of an early demo recording of what would be their next single, "Dark Entries". The original sleeve art was taken from a still of the film ''The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari''.〔 The writers listed on the single are Kevin Haskins, Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash and the band's bassist, David J .〔.〕 David J, however, claims that he wrote them.〔 The song is over nine minutes in length and was recorded "live in the studio" in a single take. The vocals do not start (in the studio version) until several minutes into the track. The dub-influenced guitar sound was achieved by using partial barre chords and leaving the open. The title referenced horror film star Bela Lugosi (1882–1956), who did much to establish the modern vampire image as the title character in the 1931 film ''Dracula'', and who had been dead for over two decades when the song was written and recorded. The sleeve cover art shown above is from the film ''The Sorrows of Satan'' (1926). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bela Lugosi's Dead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
