Our Take

Blue Oyster Cult's reissue of their classic live album, "Alive In America," on blue vinyl is a treat for both long-time fans and vinyl enthusiasts alike. The band's iconic blend of hard rock and science fiction themes sounds just as fresh and exciting as it did when this album was first recorded back in 1981.

From the opening track, "This Ain't the Summer of Love," to the closing notes of "Born to Be Wild," Blue Oyster Cult deliver a high-energy performance that showcases their musicianship and showmanship. The dual guitar attack of Buck Dharma and Eric Bloom is as sharp as ever, while the rhythm section of Allen Lanier, Joe Bouchard, and Rick Downey provide a solid foundation for the band's epic sound.

The inclusion of crowd favourites like "Godzilla" and "Don't Fear the Reaper" will have fans singing along and banging their heads in nostalgia. The production on this reissue is top-notch, capturing the raw energy and power of Blue Oyster Cult's live performances.

Overall, "Alive In America" on blue vinyl is a must-have for any Blue Oyster Cult fan or vinyl collector. It's a reminder of a time when rock music was larger than life and unapologetically fun. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and let Blue Oyster Cult take you on a wild ride through rock 'n' roll history.

About the artist

Blue Öyster Cult

BLUE OYSTER CULT: The Band that Time Forgot (But Shouldn't Have) Hailing from Long Island, New York, BLUE OYSTER CULT are the unsung heroes of 70s rock. With a name that sounds more like a seafood dish than a band, BOC have been churning out hard-hitting tunes since the early days of the Nixon administration. Combining elements of hard rock, heavy metal, and even a touch of prog, BLUE OYSTER CULT have carved out a sonic niche that is uniquely their own. From the iconic riff of "Don't Fear the Reaper" to the dark, brooding atmosphere of "Godzilla," these guys are the kings of the cryptic lyric and the killer guitar solo. But despite their undeniable talent, BLUE OYSTER CULT have never quite received the recognition they deserve. Maybe it's their slightly oddball image, with their penchant for sci-fi and occult themes, or maybe it's the fact that they've never quite fit neatly into any one genre. But whatever the reason, BOC are a band that should not be overlooked. With a discography that spans over four decades and includes over a dozen albums, there is no shortage of material to dive into. So whether you're a seasoned fan or a newcomer to their music, it's time to give BLUE OYSTER CULT the recognition they so rightfully deserve. Just don't forget to bring your cowbell.
