great song and video.have,nt seen it for about 27 years. reminds me of the beau geste pub in ashton.u.lyne. one of the first pubs to have a video jukebox way back in 1984. happy days. this song got me into the cult. nice to have seen it again. great bass line.
I would say it is, since Rob Zombie did a song that you can see to the right, about Resurrection Joe. And Rob is known for his love of old Horror films.
@WoodRatGirl That's true, but this is the Cult. However, even though the lyrics don't have that much to do with it, it must have inspired at least the name.
That song make some spells with my soul. I just start flying and shaking. It's so amazing. I wish there were words to describe it's greatness. I LOVE IT.
top video is this, well it has to be since the kid at the end of the video laffing at the bottle is me! this was film at kirstall museum in leeds (england)
woe.. Never knew there was a video for this one. And after seeing it and laughing awhile Im glad i had the opportunity. Brings back memories. Thanks for posting
Although this cut never appeared on the original Dreamtime, it was appended to at least re-release of that tape (yes, tape; CD's were still a novel technology from '84 to '86)
I miss Nigel Preston. Although Jamie's slap bass and Billy's minor-key phrasing were compelling in their own right, Nigel's loping drumbeats lifted this song to a whole 'nother level.
right on! Havnae seen this video for years. Complete nonsense of course, but great nonsense at that. White Gretch guitar, Indian resurrection gothic tripe, eyeliner, victorian boozers and some fanny who thinks he's Jim Morrison. The cult would never better this...
I couldn't agree more my friend. I nearly cried at the tender age of 16-17 when they turned into a Led Zep tribute band. Still listen to SDC & DC some 20 years later.
got the 12" version on vinly in the 80s, great to song?beat /thing. love the drumming.

Is this anything to do with the movie "Corridors of Blood" with Christopher Lee as a 19th century graverobber called Resurrection Joe?
