Rubáiyát is a compilation album, released in 1990 to commemorate 40 years of record label Elektra Records. CEO Bob Krasnow's idea was to let today's Elektra-artists and -bands cover Elektra hits from yesteryear (also including songs from Asylum Records). Jackson Browne and The Cure appear both as covering and as covered artist.
