I feel bad for only have listened to the first two albums and some of the hit singles. These guys are good though.

40 Years Ago

Secret Treaties

​

My favorite BOC album, simply unique glad I finally scored a mint vinyl copy a couple years ago.

Great and underrated band.
Secret Treaties is their best album IMO - all killer no filler. S/T, Tyranny and Mutation and Fire of Unknown Origin are also great albums.

Nosferatu (this was released in 1978 as a B side single to Godzilla)

I think it's a much better song than Godzilla

Nosferato is pretty creepy!

Nosferato is pretty creepy!

So is Godzilla when you think about it. The piano in Nosferatu is awesome!

For as good as the two radio singles were from that album (Godzilla, Are You Ready To Rock), quite a few of the albums tracks on Spectres (The Golden Age of Leather, Death Valley Nights, I Love the Night and Nosferatu) are excellent!

Even the remaining four tracks are good: Searchin' for Celine, Fireworks, Celestial the Queen and Goin' Through the Motions.

It's rare that I listen to an entire album all the way through, but Spectres is one of them.

Soundboard recording.
Super great quality. 92. Buck is on fire.
What an awesome show! Best version of Astronomy ever.
And the long jam at the end of Reaper!
