THE CULT released their debut album Dreamtime in 1984. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, we are excited to reissue the album on vinyl. Two editions will be available. Oxblood is exclusive to independent retail, Black vinyl will be available everywhere.
The origins of The Cult began a few years earlier with Southern Death Cult forming in 1981 and releasing their sole, self-titled album posthumously in 1983. That same year, Death Cult formed (and recently reunited), with Ian Astbury joining forces with Billy Duffy for a musical partnership that has endured for 40-plus years. Death Cult became The Cult in 1984.
Dreamtime was an epic start to The Cult’s long and amazing career. The album is often overlooked due to their future massive albums, but it has become legendary amongst fans, and marks the beginning of their definitive sound.
Goth and psychedelic leaning, Dreamtime was included by Kerrang in a list of essential goth albums you need to know, stating “The reborn band’s debut album sounds big, but in a different way to their latter output, while Ian Astbury’s fascination with the indigenous cultures of America and Australia was channeled into songs like Spiritwalker, Horse Nation and the driving title-track.”
Ian spent his early teenage years in Eastern Canada and was exposed to indigenous culture at this time, and soaked in all he could. The native influence is strong on this album. The lyrics on “Horse Nation” are inspired by “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee” and many other songs on the album refer to indigenous culture.
The Cult has remained an important and enduring force in the rock music world. The band has released 11 full-lengths and has earned critical acclaim for its powerful live performances. The Cult continues to tour and record new music, and their influence on rock music shows no signs of diminishing.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
