"Hair of the Dog" sits on Mask, the second Bauhaus album, released on 16 October 1981 as the English goth band's first record for Beggars Banquet after they walked away from 4AD. All four members wrote it and the band produced it themselves, and the credits show how far they were willing to stretch: Daniel Ash plays saxophone as well as guitar, the same horn the album pushes into tracks like "Kick in the Eye" and "In Fear of Fear".
The vocal credit is split three ways, between Peter Murphy, Ash and David J, who also plays bass, while Kevin Haskins covers drums and percussion. Critics heard the album as a step up from the debut, In the Flat Field.
