"The Sky's Gone Out" is the third album by British gothic rock band Bauhaus, released in 1982 on Beggar's Banquet Records. The initial limited edition of the LP included the live album "Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape" as a bonus disc. The compact disk reissue of the album dropped the run-out audio from the final track "Exquisite Corpse", the vinyl edition containing a short recording of drummer Kevin Haskins reading from the play Baal. The Canadian edition of this album also contained a free 12" single featuring "Ziggy Stardust", "Kick in the Eye" and "Lagartija Nick". This version did not have the distinctive artwork from the US and UK editions, but was instead an enlargement of the cover art from the "Terror Couple Kill Colonel" single.
