Release History: “Tale Of The Tongue” was issued as a standalone Beggars Banquet single, with this 12-inch featuring an extended version backed by a version of “Should The World Fail To Fall Apart.”
Personal Struggle: Murphy contracted severe pneumonia during sessions for Bauhaus’ final 1980s album, leaving his bandmates to complete much of the recording without him before the group separated later in 1983.
Career Turning: Released during Murphy’s first solo year, the single moved beyond Bauhaus’ raw post-punk attack through synthesizers, programmed rhythms, and his distinctive theatrical baritone.
