I've been a fan of the Blue Oyster Cult from the beginning, but have only recently re-discovered how great their earliest recordings still sound today. This collection, "Workshop of the Telescopes" contains a great sampling of BOC's best stuff, covering more than 20 years of their 'career of evil'. If your only exposure to this bands great talent is their big 1976 hit 'Don't Fear the Reaper', here's a chance to surround yourself with some of the best vintage rock 'n roll you'll find anywhere. This collection also makes available some of their rarest recordings for the first time on CD. Even if you are familiar with this bands commercial releases, you'll want to add this one to your library. Don't pass this one up!
I have loved BOC's music since its first releases, back when it was "The Cult". The entire band's drive, virtuosity and intense dedication to Rock has always been a major factor in its appeal. Workshop is an excellent chronicle of the band's undertakings since its inception. Because of the success of some of the band's later releases, (Don't Fear The Reaper, etc.) perhaps some of the younger listeners will be introduced to what I call "BOC undiluted", and experience the feeling of the old "underground" FM stations of their day. Admittedly, I feel that some of the band's later releases were/are a bit too commercial, but what the Hey, everybody's gotta eat... In sum, DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP IF YOU LOVE ROCK 'N' ROLL!!! Onward through th' fog...Read full review
