"Ihr sollt Amerikas Antwort auf Black Sabbath sein" - this was the idea that manager and music critic Sandy Pearlman came up with in 1967 when he founded the Blue Öyster Cult. Und für den Sound der Band, mit dem sie ihre phantastischen Lyrics untermalte, hatte Pearlman auch bald eine Bezeichnung: Heavy Metal! Weil Blue Öyster Cult mit Vorliebe literarische Vorlagen vertonten, galten sie bald als "Band der Intellektuellen" und wurden als Alternative zu primitivem und blutleerem Rock gefeiert. Mit Hymnen wie "Godzilla", "Harvester Of Eyes" oder "Don't Fear The Reaper" loteten sie die Grenzen der Rockmusik aus. Die Liveversion von "Don't Fear The Reaper" avancierte auch zum internationalen Top-Hit der Band. Das aus 16 CD bestehende Box-Set "The Columbia Albums Collection" bietet nun den ultimativen Überblick. Darunter zwei Bonus-CD mit Raritäten und ein "Best Of" von Rundfunkaufnahmen. Product information Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, celebrates 40. Anniversary of Blue Öyster Cult - the eponymous debut album by America's heaviest psychedelic metal band, which in 1972 foreshadowed punk, and hardcore - with the release of Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection, a monumental BÖC library that includes 16 CDs (the complete official canon and two discs of rarities) and the mythic DVD Some Other Enchanted Evening (a riveting 1978 concert video). Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection brings together 14 of the band's official albums on Columbia Records - including newly remastered editions of On Your Feet or on Your Knees, Fire of Unknown Origin, The RevÖlution by Night, Mirrors, CultÖsaurus Erectus, Extraterrestrial Live, Club Ninja and Imaginos - along with two newly compiled bonus discs: Rarities and Radios Appear: (a special collection of classic live performances). In addition, the Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection box set is accompanied by a 40-page booklet full of photos and accompanying notes by famed music publicist and guitarist Lenny Kaye. Originally formed in 1967 on Long Island as Soft White Underbelly, Blue Öyster Cult combined adventurous lyrical themes with an aggressive instrumental sound. With equal measures of passion and intelligence, Blue Öyster Cult became a rock band for thoughtful fans and a sign of life in a sea of dull, anemic soft-pop. Anthems like "Godzilla," "Harvester of Eyes" and "Don't Fear the Reaper" expanded the boundaries of rock themes, while guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser became a hero to legions of aspiring axemen. The band's mystique extended to their album covers, resulting in some of the most distinctive and iconic LP album covers of the rock era.

(Good Times, Februar / März 2013) ,,Die mit miniaturisierten Original-Covers versehenen Alben klingen klar, transparent und für Hardrock vergleichsweise dezent und luftig gemischt. So ist diese mächtige Box vor allem ein Juwel für Fans, Enzyklopäden und Raritätensammler der Rockmusik, die mit den vielen Bonus-Songs, Demos und Live-Ergänzungen bislang kaum oder nicht bekannte Nebenwege von Blue Öyster Cult erkunden können."
