Blue Oyster Cult: Albert Bouchard (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica, drums, percussion); Allen Lanier (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass); Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (vocals, guitar, synthesizer, percussion); Eric Bloom (vocals, guitar, percussion); Joe Bouchard (vocals, piano, bass). . Additional Personnel: Patti Smith (vocals); The Brecker Brothers (horns). Producers: Murray Krugman, Sandy Pearlman, David Lucas. Recorded at The Record Plant, New York, New York in 1975 & 1976. Originally released on Columbia (34164). Includes liner notes by Lenny Kaye. Feted by heavy metal fans, this was a much broader album that put them in touch with AOR radio, and consequently took them out of their heavy rock ghetto. The ace in their tarot pack was the entrancing and enchanting "Don't Fear The Reaper" - the greatest song that the original Byrds never wrote. Flowing and chiming it put the band in the pop charts with a song of rare quality and consequently pushed this album's sales. The other tracks struggle to compete with the Reaper, but there are moments, especially with "The Revenge Of Vera Gemini," on which Patti Smith narrates.

Blue Oyster Cult's fourth album was first release in 1976 and went on to achieve platium sales status.
