Founded in 1977 by Martin Mills and Nick Austin, Beggars Banquet is a renowned UK indie label that has made its mark on the music industry. It all began with the release of two 7" singles by punk band The Lurkers. Since then, Beggars Banquet has evolved to encompass a diverse range of genres including punk, goth, synth-pop, folk-rock, and indie. With an impressive portfolio of spin-off labels such as 4AD, Situation Two, City Beat, and XL Recordings under its belt, Beggars Banquet has become part of the esteemed Beggars Group – one of the largest networks of indie record labels worldwide.

In April 2008, Beggars Group made the decision to retire the iconic Beggars Banquet imprint. However, key artists were seamlessly transitioned to another notable label within their roster – 4AD. This strategic move ensured that these talented musicians continued to receive the support and recognition they deserved.

Beyond their musical endeavors, it's worth noting that Beggars Banquet operates with utmost professionalism. Their business registration number is 1414047 and VAT number is 340 1066 10. These details further exemplify their commitment to transparency and excellence in all aspects of their operations.

In 1985 The Cult enjoyed breakthrough success with the single 'She Sells Sanctuary' and the album 'Love', establishing themselves as a new breed of alternative rock band. When it came to recording a follow-up, the band booked into The Manor studios in Oxfordshire with Steve Brown again producing the album. By the end of October 1986 the album was recorded, the masters assembled and it was given the title 'Peace'. However, the band weren't happy with the final results which seemed too polished. Appreciating the rawness of Run-D.M.C.'s 'Walk This Way', the band contacted producer Rick Rubin to re-mix the lead track, 'Love Removal Machine'. Rubin agreed to work with the band but only on condition that the track was entirely re-recorded. The result was a sparse, dry, riffing version that captured the sonic excitement the band were looking for. Enthused by the results, the decision was made to abandon the expensive 'Peace' recordings and re-record the entire album in New York with Rick Rubin. The new tracks would become The Cult's third album, re-titled 'Electric', and a multi-million seller.Tracks from 'Peace' were used as single B-sides and some of the alternative versions were issued on an early CD - 'The Manor Sessions' - but it wasn't until the limited 'Rare Cult' box set in 2000 that fans got to hear the full album correctly sequenced. The box rapidly sold out meaning that 'Peace' has been unavailable for 13 years. Until now.
