In March 1985, The Cult recorded their fourth single, "She Sells Sanctuary", which charted at Number 15 in the UK charts.

For me The Cult were one of the defining bands of the 'post punk' era. The clear impression was of a band that played what they wanted to play, with a refreshing energy, and enjoyment for good old rock music.

This is The Cult at The Hammersmith Odeon, London, on the 31st October, 1985. The set list is: 1.Love. 2.Nirvana. 3.Christians. 4.Holl
