Album Review
The real question is, did we
really
need this three-disc set? The original
Blue Öyster Cult
reissue program by Sony was ambitious, with the first four studio albums reissued in 2001 as deluxe editions with excellent remastering, extended liner notes, and bonus material that ranged from early
Stalk-Forrest Group
sessions to live cuts and alternate takes; these were followed in 2007 by
Spectres
and the live album
Some Enchanted Evening
, leaving some of the band's original titles still in their first CD incarnations from the 1980s -- with all the sonic limitations that implies. This triple-disc box is an excellent best-of, and is sold for a budget price, yet it is still just another compilation whose contents every real
BOC
fan owns in various incarnations -- and probably more than once. While the best of
BOC
is represented here, the band's legacy -- and Sony -- would be better served by remastering the rest of the catalog.
