Album Notes & Community Reviews

A single-disc distillation of the six-disc 'Rare Cult' box, gathering unreleased demos, alternate versions and outtakes from the band's Beggars Banquet years of 1984 to 1994. It opens the archive of a band whose catalogue was otherwise tightly controlled, documenting songs that missed the album sequence.
