Live Cult was recorded live at the Marquee Club, London on 27 November 1991. This compilation was originally released in 1993 with the purchase of the Pure Cult: For Rockers, Ravers, Lovers and Sinners video which included all of their singles and several of the strongest album tracks from 1984 to 1993. However, only disc one of this two-disc set was included, as well as an order form to purchase disc two. In 2000, this compilation was re-released with both CDs. According to the liner notes this recording was "completely live" with no overdubs or edits in the final version on CD.
