This is one of the ultimate Hard Rock and Metal albums according to Metallica's Lars Ulrich in Rolling Stone magazine (June 2017). 'B.O.C. were just a little smarter compared to the other rock bands at the time'. With the disappointing commercial success for the first three studio albums this album, originally released as a 'LIVE' 2-LP in 1975, includes three songs from each studio LP: the self-titled 'Blue Oyster Cult', 'Secret Treaties', and 'Tyranny & Mutation' and as closing track the Steppenwolf cover 'Born To Be Wild'. 'On Your Feet Or On Your Knees' reached number 22 on the Billboard 200, the band's highest charting in the U.S. Tracklist: 1. THE SUBHUMAN 2. HARVESTER OF EYES 3. HOT RAILS TO HELL 4. THE RED & THE BLACK 5. SEVEN SCREAMING DIZBUSTERS 6. BUCK'S BOOGIE 7. LAST DAY OF MAY 8. CITIES ON FLAME 9. ME 262 10. BEFORE THE KISS (A REDCAP) 11. MASERATI GT (I AIN'T GOT YOU) 12. BORN TO BE WILD
