This CD has 2 of the best ever songs Blue Oyster Cult has ever done. Godzilla and (Don't Fear) The Reaper. I loved listening to these songs over and over. Some of the other songs grew on me as well. You have to try this CD. Have fun CD swapping! :)

What a botch-job!

"Who do we blame for THIS abortion? I've never liked repackages that haphazardly mix live & studio tracks, and that's what they did here. Only 5 studio versions turn up, but really-- "E.T.I.", "Beat 'Em Up" and "Black Blade"? Maybe on a more "comprehensive" colletion, but... And let's not ignore the ineptitude of having "Harvester Of Eyes" and "Flaming Telepaths", the middle of what had been a side-long suite on SECRET TREATIES, that just ends abruptly since there is no "Astronomy" here. Or any of their big hits, for that matter. In fact, not even "Career Of Evil"-- which makes you wonder at the album title. If you want a single-disc hits package, go with ON FLAME WITH ROCK AND ROLL instead!"

"I picked this CD up thinking that some BOC would be nice to have. Not their greatest hits but it looked OK. Don't buy this CD, not even used, it is not worth the effort of putting it in your CD player! Non-original versions of songs, bad recordings of the originals. I traded this one in as soon as I could. Go with Workshop of the Telescopes if you want a true BOC hits collection."
