I've long been a fan of this album and have it on vinyl and finally got the Compact Disc version. This was Blue Oyster Cult's 8th studio album. Produced by Martin Birch.It was released in June of 1981 and came out on CD in 1985. It would turn out to be the last with the original lineup as drummer Albert Bouchard would be let let go while touring for this album.
Song List:
1. Fire of Unknown Origin
2. Burnin' For You
3 Veteran of the Psychic Wars
4. Sole Survivor
5. Heavy Metal: The Black and Silver
6. Vengeance(The Pact)
7. After Dark
8. Joan Crawford
9. Don't Turn Your Back
A few of the songs were written for the movie Heavy Metal. The song "Vengeance(The Pact)" even follows the story line of a movie. Ironically the song that made it the film "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" was not one of the ones written for the movie.
Song list
The album would peak at #24 on Billboard 200 charts. The song "Burnin' For You" , aided by an early MTV video, hit #1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Charts..
I really enjoy this one and is my favorite by them.
