A worthy compilation album. A atrange mix of mellow, power-driving hits like Don't Fear the Reaper and Nosferatu, and early material, such as Before the Kiss, as Redcap, and Hot Rails to Hell. Key tracks include Don't Fear the Reaper, Buck's Boogie, In Thee, and Shooting Shark

If your just starting out listning to Blue Oyster Cult, this is a nice CD to start with. I also picked up "Career Of Evil" with this disc & it makes for a nice 2 disc collection. None of the songs are the same versions, "Career Of Evil" is mostly live, while this disc is mostly studio. I got both discs for less than a dollar each, and they make a fine little collection. As far as this disc, highlights are, Hot Rails To Hell, Nosferatu, The Red And The Black, In Thee, Shooting Shark, and a live version of "The Reaper" from 1981. Pick this disc up first, if you like it, I stongly advise picking up "Career Of Evil" to get a good taste of BOC live. You can't beat either of these two collections for the price.

I picked this up recently and was hopping to find more songs like Don't Fear The Reaper and Nosferatu - instead I heard songs that sounded a lot more like Asia... Sappy Pop Rock...

If they included Godzilla and songs from Fire of Unknown Origin this would be a worth while collection.
