Double vinyl LP pressing on Limited Edition colour-in-colour effect vinyl: LP1 red & black, LP2 purple & black in a Gatefold Sleeve. Originally released in 2012, Choice of Weapon was hailed as The Cult's most vital work since their '80s heyday - a powerful, mature record that proved Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy still had fire to burn. Recorded in the California desert with Chris Goss at the helm and finished by long-time collaborator Bob Rock, the album channels the lush guitar layers, earworm melodies, and gothic swagger fans love, while venturing into fresh territory - from the blues of A Pale Horse to the stomping drama of Honey From a Knife. Driven by the lead single For the Animals, Choice of Weapon earned iTunes' Rock Album of the Year in 2012 and debuted at #1 on the UK Rock Chart. Out of print since the original pressing, it has become one of The Cult's most sought-after modern releases.
