Cult, The – Love – Vinyl Record

Description

The Cult’s second album, Love, will be reissued on vinyl by Beggars Arkive on February 24th. The album, originally released in 1985, featured hit singles like “Rain,” “Revolution,” and “She Sells Sanctuary,” which remains popular today, even appearing in the TV show Euphoria. Led by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy, The Cult is widely regarded as one of the greatest rock bands, and Love helped define their career. Despite the post-punk and new wave movements’ guidelines to avoid long hair and guitar solos, The Cult intentionally defied them with their music, which Ian Astbury attributes to their punk rock attitude, saying, “there’s a visceral and energetic response” to their rebellion. The reissue will come in two versions: red vinyl for independent retail and black vinyl available everywhere.
