Good Cult bootlegs are rare to come upon. There is the inevitable rarity of good quality recordings on the basis of the fact we're talking about bootlegs here in the first place, and secondly The Cult's prowess as a live band varies largely dependant upon how out of it Ian Astbury is on any given night. That said, Thir13en's remaster of 'Rebirth Of The Phoenix' has, for a good few year now, blown any of their officially released recordings out of the water, despite being from a period in their history considered by many fans to be questionable.
The show comes from the same questionable period as the afforementioned recording. Actually it comes a few years after, from the tour for their massively audience-splitting self-titled effort. As with most BBC recordings, this is not the complete set. Those of you who ain't so much into the self-titled can relax though as only two songs from that album are represented here. The rest of the recording finds the band on surprisingly good form, despite all the internal drama that was going on in the band at the time.
The source for this was already very good. Some gentle beefing up the guitars needed here and there, a bit of widening (mostly on the upper ranges), but I've not doctor'd things too much. The recording isn't as good as 'Rebirth of the Phoenix', but I'd put it on par with their officially released stuff. At best, it can even move one towards some slight re-evaluation of an oft overlooked period in the band's history.
Enjoy,
D.

This is my best-sounding recording of a "Happy Planet" era Wall of Voodoo show - it's certainly recorded from the
soundboard, and the lack of tape hiss makes me think that this was originally transferred to CD from a
low-generation source. The mix is really weird for the first minute of "When the Lights Go Out", but it evens
out from there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of note:
- There are three "improv" style songs in the set - these weird one-off songs were a hallmark of the Andy Prieboy
era.
- Although it wasn't officially released for several more years, "Shouldn't Have Given Him a Gun For
Christmas" sounds surprisingly similar to the studio version. Andy even sings the snippet of the drunken
"O Tannenbaum" that was sampled from another source in the studio version.
- "Mexican Radio" is performed in its traditional version, as opposed to the "heavy metal" aka "boogie" version
that the band often played during this era.

This is the first of 3 nights she did at the Hammersmith Odeon.
The taper adjusted the levels a few times during the applause between songs. I didn't try to smooth it out, it's really not that bad.
Tape flips between tracks 10&11, 12&13, 21&22. The start of track 13 is missing, a short spoken piece which I don't know the correct title of.
