“A record shrouded in vintage music but topped off with a modern sheen.”

— Ultimate Classic Rock

“BOC, the very fine, enduring Long Island-formed outfit, have carved out a reins-of-steel, whips, and black-leather legacy studded with scintillating, seminal milestones.”

— Ghost Cult

“Overall, the otherworldly Blue Öyster Cult has performed a supernatural feat. A reanimation ritual if you will, they have successfully

resurrected the ephemeral souls of lost songs.”

— Cryptic Rock

After the resounding success of their 50th Anniversary celebration, ‘Ghost Stories’ sees the band eagerly gearing up for an exciting new chapter in their storied career.

In partnership with Frontiers Music Srl, ‘Ghost Stories’ will captivate fans with a collection of reimagined and completed songs that span from 1978-2016. These musical treasures, long considered the ‘lost gems’ by BLUE ÖYSTER CULT enthusiasts, were originally recorded between 1978 and 1983, except for one track from 2016, “If I Fell.” Also included is the only known recorded performance of their concert classic “Kick Out the Jams” (MC5 cover). Some of the material is from workshopping albums, some from performance rehearsals, and all were recorded once in the hopes that someday they’d see the light of day.

With a legacy spanning over five decades, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT continues to be a formidable force in the classic rock scene. The exciting partnership with Frontiers Music Srl and the visionary leadership of Serafino Perugino add an extra layer of anticipation to the release of ‘Ghost Stories.’

George Geranios, the band’s original audio engineer and an integral part of the band’s golden years produced the tracks along with BÖC and all were originally recorded on reel-to-reel analog tape. He transferred them to digital audio which is when modern AI and magical musical talents meet and the collection of vintage multi-track recordings was de-mixed, re-mixed, and produced by Steve Schenck and Richie Castellano to become ‘Ghost Stories.’ The two explain the album’s amazing process HERE
