The Best Of Rare Cult is a compilation of selected songs from the Rare Cult seven-CD box set, released in November 2000. This collection also includes some songs not featured in the box set. The cover artwork was originally going to be used for The Cult's "Soldier Blue" single in 1987, but when the planned release was abandoned, the artwork was unused. It was then adapted for use as the cover for this release.
