February 23 street date. To celebrate the band's 40th anniversary, The Cult have reissued their adventurous and highly-regarded debut album, "Dreamtime", on standard black as well as limited edition oxblood-red imported vinyl. Originally released in 1984 following the band's evolution from the Southern Death Cult, to Death Cult, and then simply The Cult, "Dreamtime" finds them pivoting from their goth and punk roots into something eclectic, aspirational, and adventurous. Rife with lyrical references to the indigenous cultures of the Americas and Australia, and set against a more bombastic and muscular musical backdrop, "Dreamtime" hints at what would envelop the band over the next four decades, a dedication to wholly unique songwriting, both musically and thematically, and the frenzy that was soon to come with the release of "Love" only a year later.
