Description
Another big title is coming to the BLUE OYSTER CULT live sound source! B.O.C. appeared on various radio and TV music programs from the 1970s to the early 1980s, when the band was at its most creative and active, and has left behind many broadcast recordings. “CHICAGO MIRRORS” and “SOFT WHITE ERECTUS”, which were recently released and became a hot topic among fans, are just one of the broadcast sound sources, and B.O.C. of this period also included programs that completely recorded these live performances. , has provided countless sound sources for radio shows with limited broadcast slots, and has preserved their performances. This work is a carefully selected compilation that brings together these various FM sound sources and broadcast masters into one! Disc 1 includes the performance in Cleveland, Ohio on October 8, 1973 and the performance on Long Island, New York on May 17, 1975, both with stable FM sources. The main Cleveland performance is a tour after the release of the 2nd album “TYRANT AND MUTATION”, and this album contains the best sound source among the various masters currently confirmed. As this was a live performance before commercial sophistication, the performances here, such as “Screams” and “Workshop Of The Telescopes” in the first half, were extremely heavy, worthy of the name “original heavy metal.” A deep performance is being performed. Another feature of this work is that “Quicklime Girl” from the 2nd album can be heard at a live performance immediately after the album’s release, and the sound quality is clear and easy to listen to, so it will be welcomed by fans as the definitive class. Furthermore, in the second half, the 7-minute long “Back’s Boogie” and the over 16-minute “It’s Not Easy” (too bad that it fades out!), you can hear the interplay on par with DEEP PURPLE at the time, and the performance-based live performance focuses on later songs. You can enjoy the unique atmosphere of the early 1970s, which is different from the main live performances. The Long Island performance, which included 4 songs at the end, is a broadcast sound source from King Biscuit Flower Hour, and you can enjoy the live performance after the release of the 3rd album “SECRET TREATIES” with a clear and stereophonic recording. Although it started with “Stairway To The Stars” from the 1st album, this broadcast focused on songs from the 3rd album, such as “Dominance And Submission” and “Astronomy”, and there were no duplicate songs on the disc. , 70 minutes will pass in the blink of an eye with a barrage of great performances and famous songs. Disc 2 contains a total of approximately 73 minutes of performances from Albany, New York on September 20, 1976, and Detroit, Michigan performances on December 30, 1977. The Albany performance featured the same King Biscuit Flower Hour sound source as the ’75 take, but the performance filled the space more densely and had a powerful sound. ) The Reaper”, you can enjoy the masterpieces that were just born from the 4th album “AGENTS OF FORTUNE”. In particular, “Morning Final” is only available during this period, and fans will be very happy to be able to listen to the lyrical song with the official sound image that only FM sources can provide. It’s a shame that “This Ain’t The Summer Of Love” and “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” were cut at the end due to the master’s circumstances. From the 5th song onwards, it will be the Detroit performance on December 30, 1977. This take was made directly from the master LP for broadcasting on “BBC Rock Hour”, and not only is the clarity and mix of each part at an official level, but the condition of the master used is also first-class. It boasts one of the highest sound quality in this work. With the hit of “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”, the band’s presence has become larger, and from the contents of the master recording it can be seen that it is being treated more widely on radio programs. The only two songs selected for broadcast from the then-new album “SPECTORS” were “R.U. Ready 2 Rock” and “Godzilla,” but I was happy to be able to enjoy all the famous songs up to this point in brilliant, superb sound quality. In the middle of “Wild”, Eric Bloom shouts “Razor!” and shows off the laser effect of the time, and you can almost imagine the excitement of the stage.Enjoy this extraordinary live performance! The last Disc 3 is a compilation of live performances from the early 1980s, when B.O.C. was at its peak, lasting just under 80 minutes, which is the limit of the CD’s capacity. The first half includes the September 24, 1980 performance in Poughkeepsie, New York from King Biscuit Flower Hour’s broadcast soundboard sound source, and the second half includes the Worcester, Massachusetts performance from September 24, 1982, which is also official. It is recorded as a broadcast sound source with a high level of glare. The 1980 sound source was known among some enthusiasts as “November 2, 1980”, but the band’s tour records do not include the November 1980 date, and the actual date was in Poughkeepsie. It has been confirmed that the performance will take place on September 24th. The soundboard source for the 1980 live show appeared in “SOFT WHITE ERECTUS”, but this sound source has a more brilliant sound image than that, and it is said that the sound board source of this period such as “Dr, Music” and “The Great Sun Jester” You can enjoy a unique performance. In addition, the classic “E.T.I.” and “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” are much more sophisticated than the respective takes recorded on Disc 2, and you can feel the evolution and change of the band’s sound. It’s a shame that it’s only 5 songs and about 24 minutes long, but it’s a top-notch take in terms of performance and sound quality. The second half from the 6th song is a live performance in 1982 after the drummer was changed from Albert Bouchard to Rick Downey, and after the release of the masterpiece “FIRE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN” that determined the direction of the band in the 1980s. Contains shows with a large scale. “Joan Crawford” from the new album has a vivid contrast between Alan Rainier’s elegant and dramatic piano and Eric Bloom’s rustic singing, and the performance is a condensed version of the theatrical B.O.C. of the 1980s. Masu. Also, “Vetern Of The Psychic Wars”, which is also from the new work, will not be played much after this time, so I am very happy to be able to enjoy it with an excellent sound board. Not only the classics “This Ain’t The Summer Of Love” and “Hot Rails To Hell” but also the first album’s “Cities On Flame With Rock’N’Roll” have a luxurious sound that reflects the times. It is very different from the take you can hear on Disc 1. The highlight of the live performance, “Born To Be Wild,” has changed from the 1977 laser show to the 1980s style with a Harley on stage. But I am drawing it. This work, which clearly captures the band’s evolution with the changing times using a high-quality soundboard, is perfect for not only maniac B.O.C. followers, but also light fans who want to listen to stable sound quality, and even those who are planning to listen to B.O.C. We guarantee reliable and satisfactory quality that will satisfy all fans, including beginners who want to try it!
