I have been a serious collector for 40 years and have had 100s of signed vinyl albums. singles, and other pop memorabilia over the years. This Album was part of a very large collection of vinyl records that I purchased in 1991-92 from an estate auction. I am very experienced collector in undertaking the correct process to authenticate signed pieces. I use the standard industry process by way of matching signatures against authenticated pieces as followed.
1 - Matching to authenticated pieces. 2 - Magnification process to ascertain either live pen flow, Auto pen or printed versions. 3 - Signature characteristics such as, pen flow, slant, Stop- Start points. 4 - Matching Signature changes. Signatures change over time. 5 - Does it seem correct, logically, practically, time scales.
I can conclude that the signatures on this 12" vinyl single are authentic.
Peter Murphy / David J / Daniel Ash  /  Kevin Haskins signatures are all 100% authentic.
I will personally guarantee the authenticity of the signatures.
Based on the information above and the provenance that I can provide, it is without doubt that the record was signed sometime between 1981 and when I purchased it in 1991-92.
Most records fully signed by Bauhaus have sold from £20.00 to in excess of £225.00. The average sale price is approx £120.00 based on archive sales over the last 15 to 20 years. I am very realistic in terms of the value of my record and believe the estimated value to be £160.00
I have started to sell part of my very large collection of 16000 vinyl records for some one else to enjoy just as I have for the last 40 years.
