The missing link between the Velvet Underground, KISS and the nascent punk-rock movement of the late '70's, Blue Oyster Cult evolved out of the Stalk-Forrest Group which first came together as the psychedelic Soft White Underbelly on the campus of Stony Brook University on Long Island, NY.
Produced by Pearlman along with Columbia A&R exec Murray Krugman, Blue Oyster Cult's self-titled '72 debut on Columbia, with Its literary lyrics by such seminal writers as R. Meltzer and Patti Smith, was a prescient forerunner of such disparate larger-than-life arena-rockers as Metallica, Megadeth and Guns N' Roses.
Until then, BOC fans can content themselves with these spanking new, digital versions of their favorite hits, starting with "Don't Fear The Reaper," the classic rock ode to spitting in Death's eye.

BLUE OYSTER CULT: Their eponymous first album staked BOC's claim as a complete original: a witty, sardonic blues-acid-rock synthesis of sound, the sophistication of which blew the minds of those long numbed by the lame, plodding, lyrically-unimaginative hard rock of the times (again, I speak from my own experience).
EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIVE: "Roadhouse Blues" is a nice touch, and there are nice, dynamic versions of "Black Blade" and "Dominance and Submission," but I suspect that this made my list, in good part, because of its length (double cassette).

And the Blue Oyster Cult does possess and understand The Sound as we've known and loved it–it's as beautiful as a foot.

According to former BOC bassist Joe Bouchard, an unnamed producer asked his brother, drummer Albert Bouchard, to play the cowbell after the fact.

 Blue Oyster Cult
The band has all of their parts nailed like road-tested veterans and it’s interesting to hear all of the vocal parts accented in a much different way than on the studio albums.
Not being a Blue Oyster Cult cult member, I was only marginally familiar with some of the bands lesser-known songs, but one tune that stuck out in my mind (other than the band’s three radio hits) was the instrumental “Buck’s Boogie.” This jam highlights the guitar work of singer/vocalist Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser.
The album’s closer, and arguably the biggest Blue Oyster Cult hit, “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” rocks along at a faster than studio pace.
