		The reverse side of the album shows the band manipulating lasers (as in their infamous laser light shows during some of their concerts).

		The self-titled debut album was a solid blues-rock album and one of the better showcases for guitar pyrotechnics in a year with more than its share, amid albums by Cream, Blind Faith, the Jeff Beck Group, and Led Zeppelin.
		Their subsequent studio albums failed to attract as much enthusiasm, and their two live albums, An Evening With the Allman Brothers Band and 2nd Set, released in 1992 and 1995, respectively, were steady but not massive sellers.
		Their first two albums were released with barely a ripple, and their third, a live concert document called Drippin' Wet, was the first to scrape the lower reaches of the Top 200 albums.

	The Spectres Psychobilly Rock & Roll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Spectres, Seattle's gift to hot rod raunch and dead wrecking music, continue to spread the Devil's gospel across the plains of North America with a third album of prime-evil rot 'n' roll music.
		The Spectres' third full-length release is chock full of grainy B-movie themes, demonic dancing dames, and malignant creature rock as they tell tales of monsters, heartbreak, and insanity.
		Instead, this album merely suggest where others spill their guts, hints at something a little unsavory, allowing the listeners' imagination to wonder and worry about the rest of the picture.

	Status Quo - Latest news, reviews and interviews
		By 1970, the group have become simply Status Quo, and after their second album Spare Parts has failed to chart, they leave behind the psychedelia and frilly shirts and adopt a new musical direction, resulting in the release of Down The Dustpipe, the first single to hint at the style of Quo to come.
		The album is much more blues based, as is their final album on the Pye label, Dog of Two Head.
		When the album is released the welcome return of Bob Young can be heard immediately and the overall sound is much heavier, cementing the return to form indicated by Under The Influence.

	The Spectres - Be Bop Pop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Despite the 60's pop art cover and the upbeat title of the album, there is a darker side and sound to some of the tracks.
		There is a political undertone to the lyrics and the statement "Construction not Conscription" of the cover echoes that sentiment, yet this never detracts from the pop nature of the album.
		It is one of the great SA 80's pop albums, sitting comfortably alongside éVoid and Hotline.

	God Save The Sex Pistols - Glen Matlock
		An early incarnation of The Spectres came together after the split of the Rich Kids and consisted of a line up of Glen Matlock, Rich Kids guitarist Steve New, former Tom Robinson Band (TRB) guitarist Danny Kustow, and drummer Budgie who was between spells with The Slits, and Siouxsie & The Banshees.
		Instead of 'Precious', The Spectres next single was 'Stories' which was co-written by Matlock and Art Collins, and was produced by Clive Langer who Glen had played alongside on the Bette Bright tour.
		Little more was heard of The Spectres and Glen's hope that they would materialise more completely than the Rich Kids had sadly faded.

		Francis Rossi (vocals, guitar) and Alan Lancaster (bass) were the core members of the Spectres from their inception; within a few years, the band had addied drummer John Coughlan and organist Roy Lynes.
		The Spectres released three unsuccessful singles before changing their style to psychedelia and adopting the name Traffic Jam and releasing the unsuccessful single, "Almost But Not Quite There." After it flopped, the group added Rick Harrison (guitar, vocals), formerly of the cabaret band, the Highlights.
		Since they were experiencing a great deal of success, they didn't change their sound at all, they just kept churning out the same heavy boogie.

	Blue Öyster Cult - Agents of Fortune -Columbia/Legacy Records
		Interestingly, that LP was the first album that I reviewed for my second high school's newspaper (for my first school's newspaper, the first album I reviewed was by Queen).
		A note of interest here is that a then unknown contributor, Patti Smith (who had a relationship with Allen Lanier), provided some intellectual teeth on this album to a song that's easily recognized as her work, "The Revenge of Vera Gemini".
		The original album had 10 songs, while this new SACD disc includes a bonus song from the original recording session that was dropped from the release due to space limitations.

	PETER HAMMILL Nadir's Big Chance reviews and MP3
		On this album, Peter may have been taking the piss out of the then current rock & roll scene (the ill reasoned glam disgust of the lead off track), but while doing so, made one of the ultimate rock & roll albums of the 1970's.
		This is the fifth excellent solo album by Hammill: both with VDGG and solo he seemed to be unable to write bad songs during this golden age.
		It is a first punk album (listen to the songs like: "Birthday Special", "Open Your Eyes", or the title track for instance), which was born a long before a punk era.

	Artistopia Music - Spectres CD by Blue Ã—yster Cult/
		I feel their first three albums are the best but this album I listen to over and over and love it.
		A very misguided experiment is what I think of this album whose issue didn't change anything in 1977 except perhaps put a couple of bucks into the pockets of music industry...
		"Spectres" has it's high and low points; "Godzilla" is a classic, and "Death Valley Nights" is also one of BOC's finer moments.

	Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Peter Hammill - Nadir's Big Chance
		The "concept" of this album concerns the life of Rikki Nadir, memorably described in the All-Music Guide as a "dumb garage rocker", as he attempts to break into the music business armed only with loud guitars and an attitude.
		The album begins with the anthemic title track, an "in-your-face" explosion from the Nadir persona as he tries to make his presence known in the music world.
		This album is not Hammill's masterpiece, and it isn't quite the work which some legends claim it to be, but it is an interesting progressive diversion from the period.

		Francis Rossi (vocals, guitar) and Alan Lancaster (bass) were the core members of the Spectres from their inception, but after releasing three unsuccessful singles changed their style to psychedelia and adopted the name Traffic Jam.
		They were sort of alright and it was quite late on in the album and they were like almost — and I won’t say afterthoughts — but they were gonna be some of the last tracks that we recorded.
		We’re not overly excited about this album, although I have to say — and when you hear it you’ll know what I mean — it is a very, very good covers album and it is the best one, I think, we’ve ever done.

	Freak Emporium - Blue Oyster Cult
		The band's third album from 1974 is regarded by many as their best.
		The second of the fl and white trilogy (known as such due to the artwork) this BÖC album from 1973 carries on from where the last left off with hard rock riffing and weird occult imagery.
		One of the true icons of Hard Rock Music reformed in 1998 and these were the results- an album that modernised their hard/progressive/occult rock style whilst remaining unmistakably BOC.

		Shakuhachi and other flutes, koto, and taiko drums make their presence known throughout the score, most effectively on compositions like "A Way Of Life," which begins as a reflective duet for flute and strings before swelling into an ominous but majestic melody.
		"Spectres In The Fog" is another compelling mix of beauty and violence, starting with a delicate koto melody and rolling drums before crashing percussion and sawing strings turn the mood from bittersweet to battle-ready.
		These drums of war and battle cries increase as the score unfolds, making tracks such as "Safe Passage," "Ronin," and "Red Warrior" nearly as tense and striking outside of the film's context as they are in it.

		BOC were still one studio album away from letting loose with a deliberate attempt at pop-metal (1979's "Mirrors"), but this was the layout for their plan for heavy metal domination.
		Most of the material on this album and its predecessor is much more direct and slightly shorter than earlier classics like `7 Screaming Diz-Busters' or `Astronomy.' But the mystique is always present, and the Cult delivers a careful, meticulous assault.
		This album is a fun listen, and a wonderful re-living of the golden age of 70's pop metal.

		However, a listen to Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Staus Quo shows that this is a very good album, albeit a mix of covers of reworked versions of the hit single.
		The CD re-release contains both stereo and mono versions of the album as well as BBC session tracks and interviews from Status Quo and the two earlier, though seemingly identical, Spectres and Traffic Jam.
		The session tracks include a Spectres and Status Quo version of Van Morrison's Gloria and I (Who Have Nothing) that is probably better associated with Shirley Bassey.

	Isengard - Vinterskugge - review @ Tartareandesire.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		"Vinterskugge" is the debut album but it does not contain any new music but is only made up of the three demos from 1989 ("Spectres Over Gorgoroth"), 1991 ("Horizons") and 1993 ("Vandreren").
		This means that the album is not very coherent but that is not really the most important thing to make music sound good.
		This is not really the case with and even though it is not a bad album it does not possess this important quality.

		As much as I enjoyed their debut album, "Rubber Room Rock", this second (and last) album is more amped, more psychotronic, more psychobilly, speedier, with a darker, yet country-blues influence.
		Afterwards, the theme song of the album, "Blood, Sweat and Nitro", delivers an old school rockabilly instrumental with surf rock influences......J.R.'s drumming and Jesse James Junior's lead guitar, complimented by Austin's big bass boom-boom really make you want to shake a greaser leg....
		Next, The Spectres are back to their dark comedy thrills, pulling new tricks out of their greasy sleeves, as "Did It For Elvis" takes you on a Holy Mecca to Graceland, where all infidels meet a grisly fate, as the Sacred Graceland is purified of all nonbeleivers:
