专辑简介
Blue ?yster Cult is the self-titled debut by hard rock band, the Blue ?yster Cult, released in 1972 (see 1972 in music). The album featured songs such as "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll," "Stairway to the Stars," and "Then Came the Last Days of May." The album sold well upon its release. Blue ?yster Cult toured with artists such as the Byrds, Alice Cooper and the Mahavishnu Orchestra to support the album.
Personnel
* Eric Bloom: lead vocals, stun guitar, keyboards
* Albert Bouchard: drums, lead vocals (track 8)
* Joe Bouchard: bass, lead vocals (track 6)
* Allen Lanier: rhythm guitar, keyboards
* Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser: lead guitar, lead vocals (tracks 3 & 5)
Notes
* The song "I'm on the Lamb But I Ain't No Sheep" is actually an early version of "The Red and the Black," a song which would be featured on the band's next album Tyranny and Mutation in 1973.
* The song "Then Came The Last Days Of May" was based on a true story, when three friends of Roeser's were killed in a drug deal gone bad in California.
* The song "Redeemed" was written by singer-songwriter Harry Farcas, and sold to the band. Other band members are listed as authors, due to their input in the arrangement. "Sir Rastus Bear" was Farcas' pet Saint Bernard. Farcas is now an Iridologist in Southern California.
