Pure Cult - The Singles 1984 - 1985

The Cult, unlike its predecessor bands the Southern Death Cult and the Death Cult, was unapologetic about its mainstream rock and roll aspirations, which makes Pure Cult: the Singles 1984-1995 the best possible starting place for the group, and for many, the logical end point as well. The Cult was a singles band, and a pretty great one, too, as evidenced by the stones-like 'Love Removal Machine' and the blazing 'Fire Woman.' although the set isn't chronologically ordered, Pure Cult still gives a good sense of the band's surprisingly organic shift in sound, ranging from the gothy neo-psychedelia of 'She Sells Sanctuary' to the sneering rock of 'Star.' Totally remastered, featuring 19 of your favourite Cult tracks including 'She Sells Sanctuary', 'Edie (Ciao Baby) ' and 'Sweet Soul Sister', with new artwork.
