The Cult
The Cult began in 1983, when singer Ian Astbury teamed up with guitarist Billy Duffy as Death Cult after Southern Death Cult fell apart. A year later the name was shortened to The Cult. The band moved from the post-punk and gothic rock of Dreamtime and Love, with "She Sells Sanctuary", to the stripped-back hard rock of Electric, produced by Rick Rubin in New York. Sonic Temple brought their biggest commercial success in 1989, with "Fire Woman" and "Edie (Ciao Baby)". After a split in the mid-nineties Astbury and Duffy returned with Beyond Good and Evil, and kept making albums up to Under the Midnight Sun in 2022.
This collection brings together The Cult on vinyl, LP and CD: reissues of the classic albums, coloured pressings, compilations and individual titles from across their career.
