[kj] (OT) The Cult on Killing Joke

[iPat]

They used bikers but they were not Hells Angels
The 12"s were a relatively new format with extended mixes that everyone is
used to now
Must have look through my collection to see if i have any rarities there. I
think SDC had at least one 12", The Death Cult certainly and The Cult
revelled in it.

Found a Killing Joke live vinyl, the other day. have nt had time to look at
where, what and when
