Reviews
Sounds pretty good! Super quiet vinyl. Decent soundstage, bass and mid range. Highs seem to be dialed back a bit compared to my OG pressings. I think that might be a Red vinyl thing. This is pretty good and great track listingreferencing Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best Of Blue Öyster Cult (CD, Compilation, Remastered) CK 65918
This is a great place to start for BÖC. It's an excellent overview of some of their best and most accessible material and includes several Billboard Top/Hot 100 hits. Though it was never issued as a single, one great omission here is Veteran Of The Psychic Wars, which can be found on 1981's sublime "Fire Of Unknown Origin".
Note: the title does not reference "greatest hits" in any way, shape, or form, so don't judge this comp by the "hit" standard.

I'm not a big BOC fan, but I actually enjoy listening to every song in this collection. The purple vinyl is actually blue - I contacted the label and was told that was the only color pressed. Highly recommend this for LP lovers.
