Release Notes:
Released January 1972 by Columbia. Re-mastered on "gold" CD together with *Tyranny And Mutation* and released May 1999 by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, with restored and expanded liner notes. Re-mastered by Columbia/Legacy (with bonus tracks, lyrics, and expanded liner notes) and released June 2001. Produced by Murray Krugman and Sandy Pearlman.

Instruments:
Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (lead guitar, vocals), Eric Bloom (lead vocal, stun guitar, keyboards), Albert Bouchard (drums, vocals), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals), Allen Lanier (rhythm guitar, keyboards).

Additional Notes:
The song "Redeemed" is alternately known as "Sir Rastus Bear". The song, "Before The Kiss, A Redcap", was originally titled "Conry's Bar".

The remaining information was provided by Albert Bouchard: "Cities on Flame With Rock And Roll", originally titled "Siren Singalong", was inspired by Black Sabbath's "The Wizard" (note the similarities to the start of the main riff), MC5's "Motor City is Burning" (Sandy Pearlman got the idea for some of the lyrics from this song), and King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man".

The main riff to "I'm On The Lamb, But I Ain't No Sheep" was inspired by a Jimi Hendrix lick during his song, "Hey Joe". "Donovan's Monkey", "What Is Quicksand", "A Fact About Sneakers", and "Betty Lou's Got A New Pair Of Shoes" were all demoed to Columbia (and rejected) in 1969.

The liner notes to the re-mastered version incorrectly credit "Before The Kiss, A Redcap" to (S. Pearlman, D. Roeser), when it should in fact be (S. Pearlman, M. Krugman, A. Lanier, D. Roeser).

The liner notes to the re-mastered version also incorrectly credit "Citis On Flame With Rock And Roll" to (D. Roeser, A. Bouchard) when it should in fact be (S. Pearlman, D. Roeser, A. Bouchard).

Also re-mastered with bonus track "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll" (from *Blue Oyster Cult*) together with *Secret Treaties* (which bonus track "Stairway To The Stars" from *Blue Oyster Cult*) and released in 2000 by the French label Axe Killer - with expanded liner notes (taken from the BOC Fanclub website, without credit).

Re-mastered by Columbia/Legacy (with bonus tracks, lyrics, and expanded liner notes) and released June 2001.

Produced by Murray Krugman and Sandy Pearlman.

Instruments:
Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (guitar, vocals), Eric Bloom (vocal, stun guitar, all synthesizers), Albert Bouchard (drums, vocals), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals, keyboard), Allen Lanier (keyboards, rhythm guitar).

Additional Notes:
The album is the only one in the band's discography where the band is listed as *THE* Blue Oyster Cult.

The album was originally planned to be titled, "The Red And The Black", and the sides of the final product were dubbed (tracks 1-4) "The Black" (physical, sensual, aural activation) and (tracks 5-8) "The Red" (phantasmagorical id-teasers and supernatural beings).

The following was printed in the liner

Notes:
"Seepage from deep, black, brittle experiments which failed and transformations too hard to find. 'I was overcome and turned to red.' Duster's dust became the sale. Lucifer the light. A restless motion came to move and then subside. In endless knocking at the door - it's time. Tyranny & Mutation. Tyranny & Mutation."

According to Bolle Gregmar, the riff in "The Red & The Black" (a reworked version of "I'm On The Lamb, But I Ain't No Sheep" from *Blue Oyster Cult*) was inspired by the Captain Beefheart song, "Out Of The Frying Pan And Into The Fire".

According to Joe Bouchard, most of the lyrics for "Wings Wetted Down" came from a book of poems by Pablo Neruda, a Chilean poet (referred to as one of the 3 or 4 greatest Spanish-language poets of this century, and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971).

According to Albert Bouchard, the music to "Baby Ice Dog" was inspired by the Blues Project song, "I Can't Keep From Crying."

The live version of "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll" was recorded live in 1972, and previously not commercially issued, but released on 12-inch vinyl (on *The BOC Bootleg EP*) to radio stations.

The studio version of "Buck's Boogie" is an outtake from this album's recording sessions - the re-master liner notes incorrectly credit the song to (S. Pearlman, E. Bloom, A. Bouchard), when it should in fact be (A. Bouchard, D. Roeser).

The live versions of "7 Screaming Diz-Busters" and "O.D.'d On Life Itself" were recorded in July of 1975 (incorrectly listed in the liner notes as July of 1974) and previously only available on the *Live In The West* "bootleg" tape that was created by the band and circulated among friends and family.

The liner notes to the re-mastered version incorrectly credit "O.D.'d On Life Itself" to (S. Pearlman, A. Boucahrd, D. Roeser, E. Bloom) when it should in fact be (E. Bloom, A. Bouchard, J. Bouchard, S. Pearlman).

The liner notes to the re-mastered version also incorrectly credit "Teen Archer" to (A. Bouchard, E. Bloom, R. Meltzer) when it should in fact be (D. Roeser, E. Bloom, R. Meltzer).

Release Notes:
Released April 1974 by Columbia. A quadraphonic pressing of this album was also made. Re-mastered with bonus track "Stairway To The Stars" (from *Blue Oyster Cult*) together with *Tyranny And Mutation* (which bonus track "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll" from *Blue Oyster Cult*) and released in 2000 by the French label Axe Killer - with expanded liner notes (taken from the BOC Fanclub website, without credit).

Re-mastered by Columbia/Legacy (with bonus tracks, lyrics, and expanded liner notes) and released June 2001.

Produced by Murray Krugman and Sandy Pearlman.

Instruments:
Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (lead guitar, vocals), Eric Bloom (lead vocal, keyboards, stun guitar), Albert Bouchard (drums, vocals), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals), Allen Lanier (keyboards, rhythm guitar, all synthesizers).

Additional Notes:
The album, originally planned to be titled, "Power In The Hands Of Fools", went gold in 1992. The printing on the CD incorrectly lists D. Roeser's name as "E." Roeser on the credits for "ME 262".

In addition, there is a slight glitch on the CD version of "Cagey Cretins" - during the guitar solo, there is a brief sway of key and tone, as if the tape was bumped during the creation of the CD (the Columbia/Legacy and Axe Killer re-masters do not have this flaw).

The following was printed in the liner

Notes:
"Rossignol's curious, albeit simply titled book, 'The Origins of a World War', spoke in terms of 'secret treaties', drawn up between the Ambassadors from Plutonia and Desdinova the foreign minister. These treaties founded a secret science from the stars. Astronomy. The career of evil."

(Note: "stars" was mis-printed as "start" in the liner notes to the re-master). The book mentioned does not exist. According to Albert Bouchard, the riffs from "Cagey Cretins" are based on the Soft White Underbelly songs, "Bark In The Sun" and "Mystic Stump".

The song "Career Of Evil" was based on Patti Smith's poem titled "Poem Of Isadore Ducasse" (Isadore Ducasse was the real name of a 19th century author who used the pseudonym Comte de Lautreamont, who's book *Les Chantes de Maldoror* includes the phrase "career of evil").

According to an issue of Morning Final, a riff from "Astronomy" was inspired by David Bowie's "Panic In Detroit". In a 1975 critics poll in the U.K. music magazine *Melody Maker*, this album was voted "Top Rock Album of All Time". The songs "Boorman The Chauffer", "Mommy", and "Mes Dames Sarat" are outtakes from this album's recording sessions.

The version of "Born To Be Wild" is a studio version which was previously only available either on the b-side of the single release of "Born To Be Wild" from *On Your Feet Or On Your Knees*, on the *(Don't Fear) The Reaper* compilation tape, or the *Workshop Of The Telescopes* compilation CD. The band used to refer to this track as their "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" version, as the rhythm part of the track sounds very similar to the song.

The single version of "Career Of Evil" was created to provide a more radio-friendly version (Apparently the line, "Do it to your daughter on a dirt road" was considered too controversial -- the vocals were either re-recorded or re-mixed so the line says "Do it like ya oughtta on a dirt road"). Also, this version omits the second verse of the song.

Notes:
Released February 1975 by Columbia. Produced by Murray Krugman and Sandy Pearlman. The album went gold.

Instruments:
Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (lead guitar, vocal on "Before The Kiss" and "Last Days Of May"), Eric Bloom (vocals, stun guitar, synthesizer), Albert Bouchard (drums, vocal on "Cities On Flame"), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocal on "Hot Rails To Hell"), Allen Lanier (rhythm guitar, all keyboards). The CD liner mis-spells Buck's last name as "Rooser".

On the CD version, there is a strange EQ shift during Eric's on-stage talking prior to the start of "7 Screaming Diz-Busters". "Maserati GT" is a re-working of "I Ain't Got You", originally by the Yardbirds. "Born To Be Wild" was originally done by Steppenwolf.

"Buck's Boogie" is dedicated to Ron McCoy, who was a DJ in Los Angeles in the 1970's, and let Buck sit in one night as a guest DJ on his show.

According to Bolle Gregmar, Albert Bouchard should also receive a writing credit for "Buck's Boogie" (a credit which eventually appeared on the compilation CD set, *Workshop Of The Telescopes*) -- Albert derived the song from the Stalk-Forrest Group song, "Arthur Comics", and then gave it to Buck to add his personal touch.

According to Buck Dharma, the riff in "Buck's Boogie" was inspired by the Beatles song, "You Can't Do That".

The songs were recorded at the following locations: Academy of Music, New York; Paramount Theatre, Portland & Seattle; Show Palace, Phoenix; Long Beach Arena, California; P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver; and Capitol Theatre, New Jersey.

The "introduction" of the band that appears before the final song was done by BOC lighting director Carol Dodds, who usually did the nightly introduction of the band.

Re-mastered by Columbia/Legacy (with bonus tracks, lyrics, and expanded liner notes) and released June 2001. Produced by Murray Krugman, Sandy Pearlman, and David Lucas.

Instruments:
Eric Bloom (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion), Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (guitar, vocals, synthesizer, percussion), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals, piano), Albert Bouchard (drums, vocals, acoustic guitar, percussion, harmonica), Allen Lanier (keyboards, vocals, guitar, bass), Patti Smith (vocal on "The Revenge of Vera Gemini").

Additional Notes:
The album went platinum.

In addition, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper was listed in the August 1997 issue of *MOJO* magazine as #80 on the magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Singles of All Time".

Helen Robbins also goes by (and has been credited on BOC albums) as "Helen Wheels".

The lead vocal on "True Confessions" is Allen Lanier -- his only "official" lead vocal on all of BOC's albums (Allen does provide lead vocals on four other demos, including "Dance The Night Away" which appeared on the remastered version of this album).

Also, according to Albert Bouchard, Allen plays the bass part to "Morning Final" on the album.

The songs "Tattoo Vampire" and "Debbie Denise" were originally titled "Tattooed Vampire" and "To Remember Debbie Denise" respectively.

The song "E.T.I.", originally an instrumental track titled "No Traffic", was tried with different lyrics by Sandy Pearlman (titled "Punishment Park", it may have even had a vocal track by Sandy) and Joe Bouchard (titled "Des Pot Soup") before using the current lyrics.

Also according to Albert Bouchard, Michael Brecker plays saxophone on "True Confessions". His brother Randy Brecker also played a fluglehorn part for "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", but it was edited out of the final mix.

The riff to "This Ain't The Summer Of Love" was inspired by the song, "Ascension Day" by Third World War. Don Waller, who came up with the title for "This Ain't The Summer Of Love", also used the title for a song by the Imperial Dogs - the only similarities to BOC's song, other than the title, is the lines "This ain't the Garden of Eden. This ain't the Summer of Love."

NB: Click here to read about Don Waller's own take on the origins of this song.

The album cover depicts someone holding 4 Tarot cards: Death, The Queen, The King, The Sun. Stories say that these cards were part of an actual Tarot card reading done for the band.

The song "Fire Of Unknown Origin" is an outtake from this album's recording sessions.

The songs "Sally", and "Dance The Night Away" were demoed for this album but not used - versions of these songs were later recorded and released by The Brain Surgeons and Jim Carroll respectively.

The liner notes to the re-master incorrectly credit "Sally" to (A. Bouchard) when they should in fact be (P. Smith, A. Bouchard).

Notes:
Released November 1977 by Columbia. Produced by Sandy Pearlman, Murray Krugman, David Lucas, and Blue Oyster Cult. The album, originally planned to be titled, "The Big Hurt", went gold.

Instruments:
Eric Bloom (vocals, guitar), Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (lead and rhythm guitar, vocals), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals, guitar), Albert Bouchard (drums, vocals, harmonica), Allen Lanier (keyboards, guitar).

According to Allen Lanier, the photograph on the album's cover was inspired by turn of the century photographer Jacob Rees, whose "How The Other Lives" album depicted the classier gang members of the period in their true colors."

According to Albert Bouchard, parts of "Godzilla" were inspired by a song titled, "Go Go Gorilla".

According to Joe Bouchard, the bass break on "Godzilla" is a direct tribute to Stanley Clarke.

According to "Morning Final #11", "I Love The Night" had a 3rd verse on the original demo, which has been included on occasion when the band performed the song live.

The song "Fireworks" was originally titled, "Blazing Red".

A version of the song "Searchin' For Celine" was demoed by Allen Lanier for the *Agents Of Fortune* album, with Allen on lead vocals.

2. E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)
3. Astronomy
4. Kick Out The Jams -- (MC5)
5. Godzilla
6. (Don't Fear) The Reaper
7. We Gotta Get Out Of This Place -- (B. Mann, C. Weil)

Notes:
Released September 1978 by Columbia.

Produced by Sandy Pearlman, Murray Krugman, and Blue Oyster Cult.

The album went platinum. Extra percussion was provided by Tony Cedrone and Rickey Reyer.

"Kick Out The Jams" was originally done by MC5 - BOC's version also included a riff from the MC5 song, "Ramblin' Rose" during the guitar solo.

"We Gotta Get Out of This Place" was originally done by The Animals.

The songs were recorded at the following locations: Fox Theatre, Atlanta, Georgia - 4/13/1978 (R. U. Ready To Rock, Kick Out The Jams); Municipal Auditorium, Columbus, Georgia - 4/11/1978 (E.T.I., Astronomy); Barton Coliseum, Little Rock, Arkansas - 4/9/1978 (The Reaper); Newcastle City Hall, Newcastle, England - 6/1/1978 (Godzilla, We Gotta Get Out Of This Place).

The version of "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" that's on the CD version of this album is from a different show than the original LP/cassette version. The version on the CD is from a show in either Edinburgh or London, not Newcastle. According to Bolle Gregmar, somehow, the boxes containing the shows in question got switched, and this error (sometimes called "Murray's Choice", in reference to Murray Krugman) resulted in the CD being made with the song from the other site, and not Newcastle (which is also erroneously spelled "New Castle" on the album).

The live ending of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" was based on the ending of the Stalk-Forrest Group song, "Gil Blanco County".

Instruments:
Genya Ravan, Ellen Foley (backing vocals on "Dr. Music" and "Mirrors"), Wendy Webb (backing vocals on "Lonely Teardrops"), Mickey Raphael (harmonica on "Dr. Music"), Jai Winding (strings on "In Thee").

The printing on the CD incorrectly lists B. Abbott as "B. Abbot".

The cover of the album is not a photo of a rearview mirror, but a painting by Loren Salazar (according to Eric Bloom, "quite famous in the Seattle area"). If you look closely on the left side of the album cover (you probably need a magnifying glass for the CD or cassette), two sperm cells can be seen painted in the clouds and sky.

The song "The Vigil" originally had different lyrics by Patti Smith, and was titled, "Devil's Hangnail" or "The Devil's Nail".

The song "Lonely Teardrops" was originally titled, "Wind In My Veins", with a vocal by Allen Lanier.

According to Morning Final #8, the song "You're Not The One (I Was Looking For) was inspired by the Cars' song, "My Best Friend's Girl".

According to Joe Bouchard, the "Dr. Music" was inspired by the Larry Williams' "Bony Moronie" and Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman".

Instruments:
Eric Bloom (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Albert Bouchard (drums, vocals), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals), Allen Lanier (guitar, keyboards), Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (guitars, bass, keyboards, vocals), Mark Rivera (saxophone on "Monsters").

Helen Robbins also goes by (and has been credited on BOC albums) as "Helen Wheels".

On the CD version of "Deadline", the downbeat of the first note of the song is missing. The U.K. "Rewind" release of 1999 does not contain this flaw.

The song "Divine Wind" was originally titled "Ayatollah".

The songs "Fallen Angel" and "Hungry Boys" were originally titled, "Falling Angel" and "Hungry Boys In Brooklyn" respectively.

The song "Lips In The Hills" originally had different lyrics by Buck Dharma, and was titled, "Hold Me Tight".

When released as a single, the song "The Marshall Plan" was titled "Here's Johnny".

The printing on the CD incorrectly lists C. Bouchard as "K. Bouchard".

Released in June 1981 by Columbia.

Produced by Martin Birch.

The album went gold.

Instruments:
Eric Bloom (lead vocals, bass on "Heavy Metal"), Albert Bouchard (drums, synthesizer, vocals), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals), Allen Lanier (keyboards), Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (lead guitar, vocals, bass and sound effects on "Joan Crawford"), Karla DeVito (background vocal on "Sole Survivor"), Sandy Jean (background vocal on "Don't Turn Your Back"), Bill Civitella, Tony Cedrone, Buck Dharma (additional percussion on "Veteran Of The Psychic Wars"), Jess Levy (string arrangements on "Veteran Of The Psychic Wars" and "Joan Crawford").

The song "Veteran Of the Psychic Wars" appears in the movie "Heavy Metal".

A version of the song "Fire Of Unknown Origin" (with Albert Bouchard on lead vocals) was originally worked-up during the sessions for the *Agents Of Fortune* album.

The song "Burnin' For You", based on Richard Meltzer's poem, "Burn Out The Day" (which both Albert and Joe attempted to put to music before Buck's music was used) may have been originally intended for Buck's *Flat Out* album.

The song "Vengeance (The Pact)" began as a song called "Dakota Silo Sitter" with different lyrics by Joe, before Albert supplied lyrics based on the movie "Heavy Metal", and titled it "Taarna's Theme".

The song "Heavy Metal: The Black And Silver" was originally titled "Ear Damage".

The piano intro for "Joan Crawford", one of Allen Lanier's spotlights in many live BOC shows, was actually written by Joe Bouchard.

According to a fan, the object shown on the back cover of the album is an ancient astronomical instrument known as an "astrolabe", a sort of astronomical computer for solving problems relating to time and the position of the Sun and stars in the sky. They could be used to determine time, terrestrial location, or identify the stars at night.

Notes:
There were three different releases by Columbia of this album, each with a slightly different mix.

A somewhat rushed mix was released in England in November of 1985 (this release is believed to be available only on LP and cassette, but not on CD).

Another mix was released in Holland in December of 1995.

Correction:
This does not make sense and should read "December of 1985", as the album came out in Nov. 1985, Dec. 1985, and Jan. 1986 depending on where you shopped at the time.
Ken Drew

The third mix (released in the U.S. and elsewhere), was released in January 1986. EPIC records released this album as a "Collector's Choice" edition in 1992 using the Holland mix. Produced by Sandy Pearlman.

Instruments:
Eric Bloom (vocals, guitar), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals, guitar), Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Jimmy Wilcox (background vocals, percussion), Tommy Zvoncheck (synthesizers, piano, organ), Thommy Price (drums), Phil Grande (additional guitars), Kenny Aaronson (additional bass).

This is the first CD recorded by BOC (as opposed to previous releases, where the CD was later cut from the LP masters).

The spoken words at the start of "When the War Comes" ("When the bones of our oppressors... All hail the revolution") are done by New York DJ Howard Stern (who's mother is presumably related to Eric Bloom's wife's mother). The European releases of this album do not contain these spoken words.

In addition, on the first (England) mix, "White Flags" does not end via fade-out. This version is available on some single versions of this song.

There are other various discrepancies between the album and single releases due to the various mixes (there are noticeable variations in "White Flags", "Make Rock Not War", "Spy In The House Of The Night", "When The War Comes", "The Shadow Warrior", and "Madness To The Method").

The song "White Flags" was originally recorded on Hugh and Gordon Leggatt's 1982 album, *Illuminations*.

According to "Morning Final #2", the song "Shadow Warrior" was originally a song called "I'm A Rebel" (with different lyrics), and written (but not used) for the 1984 film, *Teachers*.

This album was discontinued in the U.S., although it was re-released in March of 1997 on Koch records, with new liner notes.

7. Magna Of Illusion -- (S. Pearlman, D. Roeser, A. Bouchard)
8. Blue Oyster Cult -- (S. Pearlman, E. Bloom)
9. Imaginos -- (S. Pearlman, A. Bouchard)

Notes:
Released in July 1988 by Columbia. Produced by Sandy Pearlman - associate producer: Albert Bouchard.

Instruments:
Eric Bloom (vocals), Albert Bouchard (guitar, percussion, vocals), Joe Bouchard (keyboards, vocals), Allen Lanier (keyboards), Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (guitars, vocals), Kenny Aaronson (bass), Thommy Price (drums), Jack Secret (additional vocals), Tommy Moringiello (guitars), Jack Rigg (guitars), Tommy Zvoncheck (keyboards), Shocking U (background vocals on "In The Presence Of Another World"), Joey Cerisano (additional lead vocal on "The Siege And Investiture Of Baron Von Frankenstein's Castle At Weisseria"), Jon Rogers (additional lead vocal on "Imaginos"), The Guitar Orchestra of the State of Imaginos (Marc Biedermann, Kevin Carlson, Robbie Krieger, Tommy Moringiello, Aldo Nova, Jack Rigg, Joe Satriani).

According to Bolle Gregmar, Joe Satriani played the lead on "The Siege And Investiture Of Baron Von Frankenstein's Castle At Weisseria", and Robbie Krieger played the lead on "Blue Oyster Cult".

According to Albert Bouchard, Robbie Krieger also played the lead on "Magna Of Illusion".

In addition, Albert Bouchard says that several musicians were either improperly credited, or not credited at all. See the specific FAQ question on the recording of *Imaginos* for more on this topic.

The house on the album's cover is a photo from the early 1900's of the famous Cliff House Hotel in San Francisco. The original Cliff House was destroyed by fire in 1894, and a second hotel (pictured on the album cover) was built in 1896. It was also destroyed by fire in 1907. A third hotel was built in 1909 and is still standing, but pales in comparison to the one on the album cover.

Instruments:
Eric Bloom (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Buck Dharma (lead guitar, vocals, keyboards), Allen Lanier (guitar, keyboards), Jon Rogers (bass, background vocals), Chuck Burgi (drums, background vocals).

The CD liner notes incorrectly list the names of Jon Rogers and Chuck Burgi as "John Rogers" and "Chuck Burgie" respectively. "The Horsemen Arrive", should actually be titled, "When Horsemen Arrive" - this song was tried with different lyrics, and titled "Out Of The Darkness".

The film credits incorrectly list the song by this alternate title.

The "Out Of The Darkness" lyrics were later released with different music on the album, *Curse Of The Hidden Mirror*.

The instrument credits on the album refer to the BOC line-up appearing on the tour, however, the credits for the actual recordings are somewhat different.

"Power Underneath Despair", a studio track recorded in 1995, was produced by Steve Schenck, Buck Dharma, and Eric Bloom; and featured Danny Miranda on bass and Chuck Burgi on drums.

"(Don't Fear) The Reaper" (Moscow, Idaho), and "Godzilla" (Kalispell, Montana), both recorded live in 1992, feature Jon Rogers on bass and John Miceli on drums.

The band photograph in the liner notes is circa 1993 showing Chuck Burgi, Eric Bloom, Allen Lanier, Buck Dharma, and Jon Rogers.

Notes:
Recorded in 1970 for Elektra Records, and released in 2001 by Rhino Records.

Original production by Dennis Murphy and Peter Siegel, with additional production by Jay Lee and Sandy Pearlman. Rhino production by Roland Worthington Hand.

Instruments:
Eric Bloom aka "Jesse Python" (lead vocals, guitars), Donald Roeser aka "Buck Dharma" (lead guitar, vocals), Andy Winters aka "Andy Panda" (bass), Allen Lanier aka "La Verne" (keyboards, guitar), Albert Bouchard aka "Prince Omega" (drums).

Tracks 1 to 9 taken from the assembled, but never released untitled Elektra album EKS-74046

Tracks 10 to 16 taken from 2-track mixed down masters of recordings for an earlier version of the album on a reel labelled "Oaxaca".

Tracks 17 and 18 taken from Elektra single EKM-45693 released 20 July 1970 - though scheduled for commercial release, it appears the only copies of this single which were pressed and circulated were promotional copies.

The tracks are believed to have been recorded in two series of recording sessions, with the "Oaxaca" tracks having been recorded first.

Three tracks from this series ("What Is Quicksand?, "Donovan's Monkey", and "Arthur Comics") were included without change to the second reel labelled "Stalk-Forrest Group".

Donald Roeser sings lead vocals on "Arthur Comics" and "Bonomo's Turkish Taffy", with Eric Bloom singing lead on all other tracks.

According to Albert Bouchard and Andrew Winters, Allen Lanier played bass on the track, "St. Cecilia", and Andrew Winters played acoustic guitar on the track.

Also according to Andrew Winters, the original lyrics to "St. Cecilia" were written by John Wiesenthal's sister Tina, in a poem entitled "Blue" (according to Albert Bouchard and Bolle Gregmar, the title was "Green"). Andrew's music was used, but lyrics by Sandy Pearlman were used instead of Wiesenthal's.

The original version of "I'm On The Lamb, But I Ain't No Sheep" (track 11) sounds quite different than the version released on the first BOC album, including a piano part, and a riff which would later be used in the *Imaginos* song, "I Am The One You Warned Me Of".

"Arthur Comics" would later be used as an influence for the BOC song, "Buck's Boogie".

The ending of "Gil Blanco County" would later be used live by BOC as the ending of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper".

The song "A Fact About Sneakers" was a re-working of a Soft White Underbelly song called "All Night Gas Station".

5. Born To Be Wild
6. Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll [from "Blue Oyster Cult"]
7. Buck's Boogie [from promo release]
8. Redeemed [from "Blue Oyster Cult"]

Notes:
Released in 1989 by Columbia, and should not be confused with the 1997 Sony release of the same name, or with the 2000 Sony release *Don't Fear The Reaper - The Best Of Blue Oyster Cult*. Some of the versions used on this recording were the single, not the album versions.

The most notable differences include the edited version of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" (the guitar solo section was cut), and "Career Of Evil" (Apparently the line, "Do it to your daughter on a dirt road" was considered too controversial -- the vocals were either re-recorded or re-mixed so the line says "Do it like ya oughtta on a dirt road").

Also, this version omits the second verse of the song. "Born To Be Wild" is a studio version of the song (the riff is different) which appeared as the b-side to a single release of the live version (from *On Your Feet Or On Your Knees*).

The version of "Buck's Boogie" is a live version from a 1972 show in New York that appeared on Columbia's promo issue "Bootleg EP" (see section on bootleg recordings).

Note: Released in 1990 by Columbia. On the cassette version of this album, the jam at the end of "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll" was removed - the song ends with Buck's trill way up the neck.

The CD version of the album does not have this edit. According "Morning Final #2", this CD was originally issued in place of a CD release of *Extraterrestrial Live* (although that album was later released on CD).

Notes:
Released in 1990 by CBS Special Products, and should not be confused with the 1997 KRB Music Companies release of the same name.

In 1999, Platinum Disc Corporation produced a 2 CD set (Made in Canada) which contained this CD and the 1997 *Don't Fear The Reaper* compilation CD. The version of "Career Of Evil" used on this recording was the single, not the album version (Apparently the line, "Do it to your daughter on a dirt road" was considered too controversial -- the vocals were either re-recorded or re-mixed so the line says "Do it like ya oughtta on a dirt road").

Also, this version omits the second verse of the song. Two of the tracks ("Dominance And Submission", "Death Valley Nights") do not appear on the cassette version of this album.

The versions of "Workshop Of The Telescopes" and "The Red And The Black" were recorded live in 1972, and previously not commercially issued, but released on 12-inch vinyl to radio stations.

The version of "Buck's Boogie" used on this recording was also from that release (as well as the Columbia compilation, "Guitars That Destroyed The World").

The release, which also included a live version of "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll", was titled *The BOC Bootleg EP*. The version of "Born To Be Wild" is a studio version which was previously only available either on the b-side of the single release of "Born To Be Wild" from *On Your Feet Or On Your Knees*, or on the *(Don't Fear) The Reaper* compilation tape.

The band used to refer to this track as their "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" version, as the rhythm part of the track sounds very similar to the song.

This CD set correctly credits A. Bouchard and B. Dharma for the writing of "Buck's Boogie", but incorrectly credits D. Roeser, A. Bouchard, E. Bloom, and S. Pearlman for the writing of "The Red And The Black" (when it should be "A. Bouchard, E. Bloom, S. Pearlman").

The version of "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" is from the LP version of *Some Enchanted Evening*, not the CD version (see notes for *Some Enchanted Evening*).

Notes:

In 1999, Platinum Disc Corporation produced a 2 CD set (Made in Canada) which contained this CD and the 1990 *On Flame With Rock And Roll* compilation CD - however the back cover of this 2 CD set fails to list "Buck's Boogie" as the final track.

This CD credits A. Bouchard and D. Roeser for the writing of "Buck's Boogie", and M. Krugman and A. Lanier were left off the credits for "Before The Kiss, A Redcap".

The cover photo is the same as the photo on the *Revisited* compilation.

Notes:
Released in 1998 by Sony. The song "The Red And The Black" originally appeared on the *Tyranny And Mutation* album. However, the version on this compilation was recorded live in 1972, and originally only released on 12-inch vinyl to radio stations.

It was later released by Sony on the *Workshop Of The Telescopes* compilation. The song is incorrectly listed in the liner notes to this compilation as being from *Tyranny And Mutation*.

Also, the liner notes incorrectly credit "The Red And The Black" to "E. Bloom, S. Pearlman, D. Roeser", when it should be "A. Bouchard, E. Bloom, S. Pearlman".

A subscriber would receive a new CD/pamphlet on a periodic basis until they had the whole set. Only one CD had BOC songs - #25 in the series.

The songs were recorded straight off BOC LPs. The disc incorrectly credits 5 of the tracks as being from *Some Enchanted Evening*.

16. In The Presence Of Another World (Excerpts From) [from "Imaginos"]

Notes:
Released in 1993. Distributed by Sony Music Entertainment (Germany), made in Austria, printed in Holland. Most of the writing on the CD liner, including about 10 pages of history on the band, is printed in German.

Several of the songs ("(Don't Fear) The Reaper", "Godzilla", "Then Came The Last Days Of May", "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll", "Joan Crawford", "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place") have been enhanced over the original album versions to improve the sound quality.

The version of "In The Presence Of Another World" is an abbreviated version of the song appearing on *Imaginos* - the song ends after the line "In the fullness of another world, there is no emptiness..." just prior to the "Your master" coda section.

The version of "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" is from the LP version of *Some Enchanted Evening*, not the CD version (see notes for *Some Enchanted Evening*).

European release of *Cult Classic* See listing for Cult Classic

Notes:
This CD was released in 1996 in Europe as part of a series of artists including April Wine, J. Geils Band, Gentle Giant, Nazareth, Saxon, Robin Trower, and UFO. It is released by the "Disky" label in Holland with "all tracks licensed from EMI International Records".

The cover photo is a group shot of the 5 original members of BOC, probably taken in the mid to late 1970's.

Notes:
Strictly speaking, this is not a "bootleg", but a live tape.

What distinguishes it from other BOC live tapes is that this recording was produced by the band (actually by soundman George Geranios) and circulated among family and friends.

It was created from shows done during a week in July of 1975, in Washington, Oregon and California, and has been traded extensively by fans since that time.

It is perhaps most noted for it's version of "7 Screaming Diz-Busters" which features an extended "rap" by Eric telling the story of selling his soul to the Devil to become a rock star, and forseeing his future in a nursing home for old rock stars when the Devil comes calling for his soul.

This track, along with "O.D.'d On Life Itself" were released by Columbia/Legacy on the *Tyranny And Mutation* re-master as bonus tracks.

In addition, "7 Screaming Dis-Busters" and "Hot Rails To Hell" were released on the Columbia/Legacy promotional CD, *God Save Blue Oyster Cult From Themselves

Notes:
Released in 1982 by the "Good Shape" label. The songs were recorded in London at The Venue (8/19/1981) and Castle Donnington (8/22/1981). This recording may only be available on LP.

The Castle Donnington show was Rick Downey's first full performance with BOC. The mislabeling of the titles stems from a very bizarre font which was used on the cover, that was difficult to read.

The sound quality is poor. "Heavy Metal" included an up-tempo riff at the end of the song that was only done by the band on the European leg of this tour.

Italy import - available only on LP

Notes:
Released in 1982 by the "Blam" label, as part of a boxed set of 3 artists (Motorhead, Ozzy Osbourne, Blue Oyster Cult) each doing 3 songs each. The three songs are from the 9/8/1980 show at the Old Waldorf, San Francisco, CA.

Notes:
Released in 1991 by the "Beech Marten" label (The "Live And Alive Vol. 1/2" import was released by the "PR-Records" label, the "Godzilla" import was released in 1993 in both vinyl and CD formats by the "Metal Mess" label, and the "Burnin' For You" import was released in 1994 by the "Live Line" label; the "City's In Flame" CD was released in 2000 or 2001 on an unknown label, and is presumed to be a CD-R). Recorded at Bonds International Casinos, New York City (6/16/1981).

Instruments:
Eric Bloom (guitars, vocals), Donald Roeser (guitars, vocals), Allen Lanier (keyboards, backing vocals), Albert Bouchard (drums), Joe Bouchard (bass, backing vocals).

The "Live And Alive Vol. 1/2" recording has the two discs reversed (i.e. "Vol. 1" is Disc 2 of "The Thing!", and "Vol. 2" is Disc 1 of "The Thing!"). "The Thing!" has the correct concert order.

The CD has three major typos: The recording was at "Bonds International", not "Bands International". Also, the recording date was "6/16/1981", not "6/18/1981". Finally, "Flaming Telepaths" is mis-spelled as "Flaming Telephats".

This recording was broadcast on ABC Radio's "A Night on the Road" on 8/8/1981.

According to Bolle Gregmar, some of the songs at the end of the show (The Reaper, Godzilla, Born To Be Wild, 5 Guitars) were actually recorded the previous year (9/8/1980 show at the Old Waldorf, San Francisco, CA). These were spliced in by Steve Schenck and George Geranios when the mixing budget ran out.

Steve Schenck had to overdub the keyboards on "Flaming Telepaths".

The version of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" sounds as if Buck mistakenly sings the second verse twice, while the band recovers without missing a beat. Actually, the splicing of the two shows was done in the middle of the song, but was done in error.

The version of "5 Guitars" is the "Mark III" (Golden Age of Leather) version. Also, for some unknown reason, "5 Guitars" was mixed after "Born To Be Wild", when in actuality the band played them in the opposite order ("5 Guitars" segues into "Born To Be Wild"), and "Heavy Metal" was actually played as an encore to the Bonds show.

The photo on the front of *The Thing!* CD appears to have been taken in the early 1970's (every-one's hair is quite long).

9. Burnin' For You
10. Joan Crawford
11. Born To Be Wild
12. (Don't Fear) The Reaper
13. Roadhouse Blues

Notes:
Released in 1992 by the "Oh Boy" label (The "Rock and Roll Reapers" import was released by the "Metal Mania" label). From the ABC recording, "Captured Live", recorded on 7/23/1983 at Perkins Palace, Pasadena, CA, and broadcast on 8/29/1983.

The show also contained some songs from *Revolution By Night* (Take Me Away, Feel The Thunder, Veins), but they were not broadcast as the album had not yet been released.

The photo on the back of the CD contains Albert Bouchard. He was not in the band at the time of this performance.

This version of "Roadhouse Blues" contains, in the middle of the song, a few bars of the Doors' song, "Love Me Two Times" (which is incorrectly listed on the "Rock and Roll Reapers" release as a separate track).

10. Born To Be Wild
11. Let Go
12. Shooting Shark

Notes:
Released in 1993 by the "International Broadcast Recordings" label. Recorded at the Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, CA on 3/27/1986

However, the last 3 songs on the CD are actually from a 2/14/1984 show at the Hammersmith Odeon in London.

The California portion of this recording (often incorrectly referred as being from Los Angeles) was broadcast on "The King Biscuit Flower Hour" on 7/13/1986

This show was rebroadcast by King Biscuit on 8/31/1998, and sent to radio stations on CD (the last 3 songs were not part of the King Biscuit broadcast, and therefore not on this radio-only CD). "Wings Of Mercury" is credited as written by Donald Roeser, Eric Bloom, and Albert Bouchard.

However, according to Bolle Gregmar, the song was actually written by Dream Syndicate (Karl Precoda), and given to BOC to use (both Dream Syndicate and BOC were managed by Sandy Pearlman, and Tommy Zvoncheck plays keyboards on at least one Dream Syndicate album).

It was planned to be played by BOC on the Hear 'n Aid project (a heavy-metal album project organized by Ronnie James Dio to raise money for the hungry -- the album featured a group of stars singing one song, plus a number of tracks by some of the artists), but was not used.

"Wings Of Mercury" was actually played as the first encore of the Santa Monica show, but was inserted in-between "Godzilla" and "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" for the radio broadcast.

The recording of "Born To Be Wild" appears to have been edited to remove the "Texas Chainsaw guitar duel".

The second verse of "Shooting Shark" is not on the recording -- either the band did not perform the second verse, or it was edited out of the mix. The name of this release no doubt comes from the Celtic Frost song of the same name.

9. I'm On The Lamb, But I Ain't No Sheep
10. A Fact About Sneakers

Notes:
Released in 1998 by the "Acetato" label.

It is believed that about 500 copies of this recording were pressed in Europe, with the source being tapes traded by fans. The quality is presumably good, but not excellent.

The songs are taken from the Stalk-Forrest Group recording that Elektra never released (although they were released in 2001 by Rhino).

The line-up for these songs was Jesse Python (Eric Bloom), Buck Dharma (Donald Roeser), Prince Omega (Albert Bouchard), La Vern (Allen Lanier), and Andy Winters (Andrew Winters).

The final three songs may be incorrectly identified as having been recorded as a demo in 1971 by Eric Bloom, Buck Dharma, Albert Bouchard, Allen Lanier and Joe Bouchard.

The version of "I'm On The Lamb, But I Ain't No Sheep" sounds quite different than the version released on the first BOC album, including a piano part, and a riff which would later be used in the *Imaginos* song, "I Am The One You Warned Me Of".

Notes:
Released in 1999 on Tendolar. This release is, by bootleg standards, fairly poorly done, and may even have been done as a CD-R (recordable CD) as opposed to being mass-produced at a CD processing plant.

However, it is included here because it has been advertised by legitimate CD import dealers.

The first 7 tracks are in fact from the Stalk-Forrest Group demo (mislabeled on the CD as being from the "Stalk-Forrest band"), made in 1970 for Elektra (unreleased until the 2001 release by Rhino).

The remaining tracks are taken from two separate concerts which were broadcast as part of the King Biscuit Flower Hour. The first 5 of these tracks were taken from a 6/8/1975 show on Long Island, New York, and the remaining 3 were taken from a 10/24/1976 show in Albany, New York.

The cover artwork is the artwork to BOC's *Spectres* release, with the changed title (suggesting possible computer reproduction).

The track list is riddled with errors (the list above shows the tracks as listed on the CD, followed by the correct track title in parenthesis), suggesting that the producer created this recording from cassette tapes without a proper track list.

It is suspected that the live BOC tracks which follow are also taken from cassette tape copies (despite the CD's claim of being a "stereo soundboard recording") of the King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcasts.

The sound quality is uneven, no better than many fan-traded tapes of the same material, and there are a few cuts in some of the live tracks (most notably the end of "Don't Fear The Reaper", presumably due to no more time available on the CD).

Further, the printing on the CD itself entitles it as "Pharma For Back".

Notes:
Released in 2000 or 2001 by the "Pontiac" label. All tracks taken from a live recording on 10/16/1976 at the Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA.

The track list contains a few errors (the list above shows the tracks as listed on the CD, followed by the correct track title in parenthesis), and 2 of the photographs shown in the liner notes were actually taken around 1980, and not in 1976.

10. What Is Quicksand?

Notes:
Released in 2000 or 2001 on Young Buck Recordings. It appears that this CD-R may have been created either from the Stalk-Forrest Group LP bootleg, *St. Cecilila - The California Album*, or from the original fan-traded tapes that were its source. If so, due to the track ordering, it appears that either the LP or tape sides were recorded in reverse order.

The songs are taken from the Stalk-Forrest Group recording that Elektra never released (although they were released in 2001 by Rhino).

The line-up for these songs was Buck Dharma (Donald Roeser - lead guitar, vocals), Jesse Python (Eric Bloom - guitar, vocals), La Vern (Allen Lanier - guitar, keyboards), Prince Omega (Albert Bouchard - drums), and Andy Winters (Andrew Winters - bass).

Tracks 2 to 4 may be incorrectly identified as having been recorded as a demo in 1971 by Eric Bloom, Buck Dharma, Albert Bouchard, Allen Lanier and Joe Bouchard.

The version of "I'm On The Lamb, But I Ain't No Sheep" sounds quite different than the version released on the first BOC album, including a piano part, and a riff which would later be used in the *Imaginos* song, "I Am The One You Warned Me Of".

Notes:
Released in 1994 by Cellsum Records, and later by Ripe and Ready.

Produced by Albert Bouchard and Deborah Frost.

Instruments:
Deborah Frost (vocals, drums, percussion, guitar), Albert Bouchard (vocals, drums, guitars, The Legendary Albertron, keyboards, piano, percussion, sax, synth, slide, jaminator), Mike Leslie (bass, bass violin, synth), Jacob Bouchard (guitar samples), Ace Bouchard (vocals, toy drums), Flip Barnes (trumpet), David Hirschberg (alto sax), Steve Levy (comet).

The "Legendary Albertron", according to Al Bouchard, is "an idea that I borrowed from Glen Branca. A couple 2x4s, old strings, pieces of pipe, tuning pegs and humbucking pickups. It's played by striking with chopsticks and has sixteen strings (8 pairs) tuned to the A Dorian scale. It's sort of like an electric hammer dulcimer.
