They're one of my favourite bands of all time, I saw them in first 85 on the Love tour, saw them loads since then, the two nights at Livingston Forum with the Claytown Troupe as support was a highlight for me.

I can't understand why I never went out and saw them. Bought most of their records on CD first time around. A lot of friends saw them on the Love tour, but lost interest in them with Electric as they felt they changed their sound. I don't think there was much of a change. I did see Ian Astbury join Robert Plant at the Playhouse for Break on Through - I think it might have been his Now and Zen tour. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/robert-plant/1988/edinburgh-playhouse-edinburgh-scotland-2bd0b45a.html Edited September 20, 2020 by frankblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really was a change of sound!! Bully Duffy was srtipped of his pedals and the sound went from jangly psychedelic goth to straight out Rock, I loved!! I have the "Electric" demos before they went with Rick Ruben and the stripped down rock sound, it's the "Love" soind with the Electric track list.

Copied from the discogs link I posted: https://www.discogs.com/The-Cult-Electric-Peace/master/579316 Quote With the tour announcement of The Cult performing the album Electric during 2013, Beggars Banquet made a marketing move that benefited them to release the previously unreleased album Peace with Electric, called "Electric Peace" Peace - Produced By Steve Brown - previously released on disc 3 of the Rare Cult box set: https://www.discogs.com/The-Cult-Rare-Cult/master/196437 1986: Ian and Billy were not 100% completely happy with the recordings of Peace. Rick Rubin offered to remix the song Peace Dog. Ian and Billy were so thrilled with the results that they notified Beggars Banquet that were moving forward to re-record the entire album with Rick Rubin. 2013: The release of "Electric Peace" marks the first time that all of the Steve Brown produced tracks have officially come together on one release. Some of these tracks were previously released as "B sides" or on box sets, but never all together. Vinyl Versions The US and UK (Europe) releases have differences. The texture of the poster & gatefold(UK is thinner/US is thicker) is different along with how the entire gatefold is presented. US is completely sealed with a round sticker stating it is a Special Edition. UK version is not sealed but comes inside a ploy envelope (fold-able sleeve) with no sticker.

Macca's 1st couple of post Beatles albums were panned at the time by the critics yet are much more kindly viewed by history. It wasn't until 1973's Band on the Run (the one with he, Linda and several famous faces all wearing prison suits on the cover) that his credibility was restored in the eyes and ears of the critics.

Just shows what they know. I don't have a lot of time for music critics - too many were in a power contest to try and make bands uncool if they felt they were too big, regardless of the music. I remember back at the time Appetite for Destruction was released the critics slated it and said it wasn't as good as their Live Like a Suicide EP (which was re-issued later as one side of the Lies album).
