Here's a quickly compiled bunch of BOC songs from their first 3 albums. I've omitted most of their Spinal Tap moments, but a few still shine through - and I don't think there's any cowbell to be heard.

I put the songs from their debut (Blue Oyster Cult) at the end of the mix, because they're the old analog-digital transfers and the sound quality isn't anywhere near the other two.

Cool, Radcliffe.


Thanks for coming through with this. Downloading now.

Sweet, this will be downloaded tomorrow. And while you listen to the mix, you have to watch Stoned Age.

Red Peter likes when potential beneficial technology is used in the worst possible way

This mix was totally worth doing, if only for temporarily shaking Red Peter out of his tree.

Que cantidad de macaca!

I know you wanted to limit this to the first three albums and all, Uncle Monger, but would it have killed ya to throw "Dancin' in the Ruins" on at the end?

Nah, I'm full of shit. But "Take Me Away" would have been nice...

sweet as Rads!

Beautiful.

was on my metal primer

No Hot Rails to Hell?

Yeah, yeah, somebodys always gotta complain.

Or Screaming Diz Dusters?!?

I should put together a 1980's BOC tenner. Throw "Shooting Shark" on there and let everyone recoil in horror. Maybe even make it cruel and unusual punishment by adding "Perfect Water."

thx for the mix Rads. Looking forward to getting back into BOC for a bit.
