VA - Diggin' Great Cult Album Tracks (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CD's)

What is the best cult albums of all time. I don't know for sure! I would say a cult album has a high level of individuality attached to it. Depending on your age you will find your own favorite cult album (and probably did not make it into of the charts). What seems to me, a common thread with cult albums, is they exist because they are individually quirky, experimental and has a generally focused audience.  These albums may have influenced countless other artists, but weren't necessarily given the attention they deserved when they came out. They did however get listened to and any small group of followers that purchased them continued to talk about them albeit in their own circle of friends. Eventually years later someone says "Did you remember that sound, man, why were they not bigger"  and the Chinese whispers start... eventually new people are onboard the cult train and a new cult album is born.

So here are 80 tracks from what I would agree are from Cult albums, the ones that you, at first, probably hated but grew to love. That album that you and your small circle of friends loved and kept to themselves. If your were in that gang of popularity, you probably still have those friends today, held together by that thread of enjoying the same music. Enjoy!
