It was released by The Cult's then record companyBeggars Banquet Records without The Cult's participation. In the years since its release, singerIan Astbury and guitaristBilly Duffy have occasionally been vocal about their dislike of this release, with Astbury calling it "sad" on their official website in 2006.Beggars Banquet had planned on using handmade drawings by Ian Astbury for the album's artwork, but when the drawings were lost, the record company subsequently replaced it with less than stellar car photos, and the band photo from The Cult'sSonic Temple record was used in the jacket sleeve, along with a short bio about the band, which guitaristBilly Duffy publicly expressed his disapproval about.Track listing
