In 1972, Blue Öyster Cult released their first album on Columbia Records. The self-titled album got the NYC band some attention in the US with its single, “Cities On Flame With Rock and Roll”. In rapid fire succession, the band issued an album yearly until Agents Of Fortune exploded with the single “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”, giving the album a full boost into Platinum territory in the US. But by then, there were three studio albums and a best-selling live set to their repertoire. Over the band’s 50 years of continuity, they have released 15 studio albums and nine live albums including the million-selling One Enchanted Evening (1978).
On April 12, Frontiers Music will issue Ghost Stories. In this set, there will be a collection of recorded music that span from 1978 through 1983, with one exception being a tune previously recorded in 2016 (“If I Fell”). This package of 12 tracks will feature the original members. One of the songs from this set is “So Supernatural” and is heard below. Call it a collection of outtakes, songs recorded but never included on an album!
Ghost Stories will be released on CD, DD, and two LP color variations that include standard black vinyl, and a Limited Edition Purple vinyl.
