Welcome to the Cult collectables page. This is an incomplete list of all the collectables
available by our favorite band. I'm going to categorize them ordered by year of release.
If you feel I've missed anything, please send me details of the item you have along with
a picture, and I'll get it up on here.

BBC Transcription Album
This vinyl album comes in a yellow plain sleeve. It is from the Oct 31, 1985 concert, which
was broadcast on the BBC and affiliated radio stations. There is a claim that this album
has less than 100 pressings available world wide. There is some speculation that there are
two versions of this disc available. One has green printing on the record label, the other
just black and white. The black and white one is apparently a bootleg, and the green is
apparently the real thing. Recently, these have been showing up on E-Bay selling for
between $100 and $200 US each for the real, green ones.
Electric Era
Lil' Devil Clock
Put out by Sire/Reprise records, the face of the clock has the picture from the US release
of the Lil' Devil single
Electric Clock
This is one of two clocks produced promoting the Electric Album.
Electric Beer Can
This beer can is the one that appeared in the Love Removal Machine video. They
were regular cans with a sticker attached to the outside. It's unknown how many of these
still exist.
Electric Vest
This is a one-of-a kind item, the vest Billy is pictured wearing in many of the
Electric-era promotional pictures.
Sonic Temple Era
Sonic Temple Collection
The Sonic Temple Collection is a set of three CD Singles issued in Canada. The first
one, Fire Woman was released with the case, and then Edie (Ciao Baby) and
Sweet Soul Sister were released after. The collection was available on CD, Vinyl
and Cassette. The second release, Edie (Ciao Baby) was originally issued with
a red pin in the shape of Billy's guitar pose. This set is still available, but it's
unknown how many were made. In most cases, the case was numbered, but I have seen
examples where it wasn't.
Metal Box for Sonic Temple Collection
In very rare forms of the above Sonic Temple Collection, it came in this handy metal
box.
Sonic Temple 3" Collection
In a vinyl case, the 3" CD collection was available for a short time in England. It came
with the Fire Woman CD single, and the Edie single was available for purchase later. This
item came numbered and unnumbered.
The Electric, Love, and Manor Boxes
Limited edition collectable boxes containing the first 3 CDs that make up the box set. The
first three CDs were issued in this format, and without the collectable box, then the white
and black box sets were released, and made to integrate these three discs.
The White Box Set
The White box set was released originally with 7 CDs and space for three more which could
be purchased separately. The CDs covered all the Cult's singles and rarities up to and
including Sonic Temple.
The Black Box Set
The Black box is the same as the above white one, with the exception that it includes
the interview disk pictured in the centre. (as the 11th disk). It is identifiable by
the different exterior casing, too.
Fire Woman T-Shirt
Edie Video Jacket
Obviously, this is a one-of-a kind item. This is the jacket Billy wore in the video for
Edie (Ciao Baby). What a collector's item.
Sweet Soul Sister Vest
Another one-of-a kind item, you may recognize this vest as it was worn during the video
shoot to Sweet Soul Sister.
Sonic Temple Dog Tag
A Sonic Temple Dog Tag on metal chain. It's unknown how many of these were produced.
Sonic Temple Promotional Cube
Cardboard Promotional Cube for use in record stores.
Sonic Temple Car Promotional Fold Out
This is a record store promotional item, the old car from the Sonic Temple album. It
stands about 3 feet tall.
Ceremony Era
Ceremony Collection
The Ceremony Collection was supposed to be a three CD set released in both Canada and the
UK. It was released in a white box, with the Wild Hearted Son CD single, with places
for the next two singles, Heart Of Soul and White. In Canada, all 3 singles
did make it to the stores, but in the UK, the White EP was ommitted. The box was unnumbered
and it's unknown how many of these exist. The Canadian singles came in slimline jewel
cases and the UK singles were in Digipak cases.
Ceremony Stone in Box
A promotional item released around the time of the Ceremony album, it's a blue stone in a
white box. I don't know a lot about the origin of this item.
Ceremony Promotional Box
This is a white, two drawer box. There are two versions of this item, one released in Canada
and the other released in the US. The US one contains the Ceremony CD, a Ceremony cassette
and a video for Heart Of Soul. The Canadian one contains a Wild Hearted Son CD, an interview
cassette, a Classic Cult CD, and a Wild Hearted Son video.
Crown Of Thorns T-Shirt
Black T-Shirt with same picture as on the Heart Of Soul CD single
Pure Cult Era
The Witch
The Witch was released as a single promoting the Pure Cult collection. It was one of the
more difficult singles to come by, but came as a promotional 12" with purple vinyl from
the US, and a CD single in a cardboard case from Australia.
Pure Cult Vinyl Box
Pure Cult was released in vinyl, but a special edition vinyl box set was also issued. It
contained 4 discs, two were Pure Cult, and the other two were Live Cult from the Marquee
show.

Six CD set containing outtakes, demos and rare mixes. The first run of this box set came
with a bonus 7th CD, containing yet more unreleased mixes. A total of 48 never before heard
songs were included in this 90 song box set. Certainly a great set.
