CULT - LOVE Vinyl LP

Long-awaited vinyl reissue of The Cult's second albumLove.

The Cult is fronted byIan Astburyon vocals andBilly Duffyon guitar. Their music and albums at this point need no introduction as they have cemented themselves over the years since they began in 1983, as one of the greatest rock bands around.

Lovewas the Cult's second album, originally released in 1985. It was their breakthrough and produced many singles including "Rain," "Revolution" and the epic anthem "She Sells Sanctuary" - songs that still resonate today.

The album eventually defined their career, but at the time, it flew in the face of everything that was going on in music. Their previous album, the moody and psychedelicDreamtime,gathered plenty of critical praise, but they made a decision to take a complete left turn for the follow-up.

In their Story of the Alternative 80s,Metal Hammersummed the album's lore up well…"Proof that instinct and conviction are far more powerful and worthwhile artistic tools than cynicism or puritanical tyranny,Lovecontinues to resonate because it dared to be a balls-out British rock album at a time when such values were routinely viewed with suspicion. Above all,Loveis an album of great and ageless songs played by one of the greatest bands of this or any age."

Two years later in 1987, The Cult released their third albumElectric,followed by a string of hit albums. The band have continued to release amazing music with their latest release, 2022'sUnder The Midnight Sun- their 11th album.
