Workshop of the Telescopes
(1995)

by
Blue Oyster Cult
Blue Öyster Cult was long in need of a thorough career retrospective, and this is it. Thirty-two tracks filling up two discs with a total running time of 154:46, Workshop of the Telescopes traces BÖC through 14 years as the kings of lite metal, 1972-1986. Actually, as annotator Arthur Levy notes, there are at least two phases in that era. The ...

by
Various Artists
For listeners with little more than a passing interest in the subject, Hard Rock Essentials: 80's is a well-compiled, budget-priced collection of hair metal-era hits that evokes just the right note of nostalgia without giving in to the excesses demanded by a more exhaustive overview. Few records evoke their time and place quite as succinctly as ...

Blue Öyster Cult
Since the mid-'90s, Blue Öyster Cult have had their catalog pillaged for hits collections on almost a yearly basis, so the appearance of yet another such beast isn't the welcome return of an old friend that it should be. True, there was a time when a greatest-hits collection was sorely needed, but the double-CD set Workshop of the Telescopes took ...

CBS (now Sony) Special Products' second discount-priced Blue Öyster Cult compilation improves upon its first, (Don't Fear) the Reaper, by including not only that album's title track, which was BÖC's biggest hit, but also "Burnin' for You," and its only other Top 40 entry. The other six tracks are good choices from the catalog, among them ...

Original Soundtrack
The mullet memorial Joe Dirt digs up a decent smattering of album rock that hasn't worn thin from over-playing (yet). Like any collection, this soundtrack is give and take: sure, Eddie Money's belted better tunes than "Walk on Water," but "Who Do You Love" remains the only George Thorogood FM number that hasn't been run into the ground. The real ...

Sony's mammoth three-disc Greatest Hits of the 80's collection may be cheap looking, but it's swelled to the gills with hits both well known and obscure. Listeners looking for classics like "Total Eclipse of the Heart," "Cum on Feel the Noise," and "99 Red Balloons" won't be disappointed, but the more adventurous lover of all things '80s will ...

Are you ready to rock, or are you ready for another budget-priced Blue Öyster Cult collection? That's what most Blue Öyster Cult fans will be asking themselves after giving a listen to this ten-track compilation, issued in 2003. Easily one of the most repackaged hard rock/heavy metal bands of all time, BÖC left their mark on '70s-era arena rock, ...

Madacy's Best of the 80's is an enjoyable, if somewhat scattered, collection of new wave, hard rock and pop/rock singles.

The title of Sony Music Special Products' Greatest Hits of the Eighties, Vol. 3 shouldn't be taken literally -- after all, there are no Prince singles featured on the collection, and he was certainly one of the biggest hitmakers of the era. Instead, it should be thought of as a random sampler of hits from Columbia and Epic artists. If you have ...

This is useful, and confounding. This is truly a Blue Öyster Cult singles comp, but not in the usual sense. Over 20 tracks, it rounds up BÖC singles released all over the world, which keeps it from being just another best-of. For instance, take the final cut: "Astronomy." This is not the original released on Secret Treaties but the redone version ...

Sony's Shooting Shark: Best of Blue Öyster Cult has everything else ("Godzilla," "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll," "Burning for You," "Shooting Shark"), but such a glaring omission renders it almost useless, especially when ...
