^ used to think this. find it a bit tiresome now. not saying that it's bad, just that its pop rewards are slight.

Wow, I just heard the most awful dance-pop cover of "Burnin' For You". Going by wiki it might have been the Shiny Toy Guns cover, but I'm not familiar with them enough to know if it was or not. It was a trainwreck.

A much happier wreck: the use of BOC's original over the car crash scene in Let Me In.

It's good! The ways in which it differs from the Swedish one are really interesting.

A very watered down cover version of Burning for You was used in a lame commercial a few years ago.
― One Way Ticket on the 1277 Express (Bill Magill), Monday, 7 May 2012 19:31 (1 year ago) Permalink
According to wiki that is the Shiny Toy Guns version, but I don't recall that commercial to know if it was the same crappy version or not.
Hmm, I'll look out for it then. I had thought I didn't need to see the Americanized version since I really liked the original.

During the surf music wave of the 90s, Drag Strip did a great instrumental cover of Don't Fear The Reaper. Including the guitar solo!

Subject: BOC announcement -- anniversary and remastersLegacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Blue Öyster Cult--unleashed in 1972, the eponymous debut album from America's heaviest psychedelic metal band presaged punk, thrash and hardcore--with the release of Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection, a monumental career-spanning BÖC library comprised of 16 CDs (the full official canon plus two discs of rarities) and the mythic Some OTHER Enchanted Evening DVD (a blistering concert video from 1978). The highly-collectible boxed set will be available Tuesday, October 30.
Blue Öyster Cult (led by founding members Eric Bloom and Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser) will perform an historic New York City/Times Square show--featuring special guests and other surprises--at the Best Buy Theater (44th & Broadway, Manhattan) on Sunday, October 28 (doors at 7pm). Tickets go on sale, Friday, August 17. Reserved seating is available for the show.
A limited number (100) of individual deluxe VIP packages for the Times Square Show will also be offered. Designed to provide the ultimate BÖC experience, each deluxe VIP package includes Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection (in advance of street date!) in addition to a guaranteed seat in the first five rows of the Best Buy Theater for the BÖC Times Square concert; a pre-show meet & greet with the band; an autographed limited edition Blue Öyster Cult event poster and an exclusive commemorative laminate.
Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection brings together the group's 14 official Columbia Records albums--including newly-mastered editions of On Your Feet or on Your Knees, Fire of Unknown Origin, The Revölution by Night, Mirrors, Cultösaurus Erectus, Extraterrestrial Live, Club Ninja and Imaginos--alongside two newly-curated bonus discs: Rarities and Radios Appear: The Best of the Broadcasts (a special collection of classic live performances).

16. Rarities17. Radios Appear: The Best of the Broadcasts
Originally formed in Long Island as Soft White Underbelly in 1967, Blue Öyster Cult combined adventurous lyrical themes with an aggressive instrumental sound. With passion and intelligence on display in equal measure, Blue Öyster Cult became the thinking fan’s rock band and a sign of life in a sea of dull, anemic soft-pop. Anthems like “Godzilla,” “Harvester of Eyes” and “Don’t Fear the Reaper” stretched the boundaries of rock topics while lead guitarist Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser became a hero to legions of budding axe-wielders. The band’s mystique extended to their album artwork, resulting in some of the most distinctive and iconic LP covers of the rock era. Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection gathers the essential pieces of the Blue Öyster Cult story into one mind-boggling totality.

psyched for the new remasters (CULTO!) and rarities discs, though the box is way out of my price range.
― contenderizer, Friday, 24 August 2012 00:00 (9 months ago) Permalink
I know. Any guesses if they'll be available individually? It might almost be worth it for On Your Feet Or On Your Knees and Lenny Kaye's (!) booklet.
― broom air, Friday, 24 August 2012 00:03 (9 months ago) Permalink
I don't expect any of the remasters to be separately released. None of the prior "complete records" boxes have had any remasters sold as single albums. Cuts into box sales if you can pick and choose.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 24 August 2012 00:04 (9 months ago) Permalink
i'm assuming some of these will be the previous issued remasters from a few years ago?

Got my tickets for the Oct 28th times square show. Hope it doesn't get 'special guest'ed to death-- I really just wanna see a fired up regular BOC show.
Box set is out of my price range but I'll buy it anyway. Remastered Knees, Cultosaurus, Fire all at once? I mean, christ.
I think it's gonna run in the 130 buck range.
