Beggars Banquet was first released in the United Kingdom by Decca Records on 6 December 1968, and in the United States by London Records the following day. [20] Like the band's previous album, it reached number three on the UK Albums Chart, but remained on the chart for fewer weeks. [21] The album peaked at number five on the Billboard 200. [22] The album eventually defined their career, but at the time, it flew in the face of everything that was going on in music. Their previous album, the moody and psychedelic Dreamtime gathered plenty of critical praise, but they made a decision to take a complete left turn for the follow-up.Clayson, Alan (2006).

Tougher, wiser and growing into a leader, Mills carried the combined experiences of 4AD and Beggars Banquet into the digital age. “Ivo led me into a less ‘establishment’ view of music as a business,” says Mills, who now realises that, in his early years, he’d been influenced too much by outside professional advice. “Ivo showed me how relationships with artists can work on a symbiotic level, with shorter contracts and fewer obligations – more of a partnership. And he also showed us the importance of being determined about artistry, of being a perfectionist, of refusing to let commercial issues get in the way of the art.” Love was the Cult’s second album, originally released in 1985. It was their breakthrough and produced many singles including “Rain”, “Revolution” and the epic anthem “She Sells Sanctuary”.
