Product description

Blue Öyster Cult's "Tyranny and Mutation," released in February 1973, is a seminal work in the classic and hard rock genres, marking the band's second studio album. This 38-minute journey through eight tracks showcases the band's early prowess and sets the stage for their future success. The album opens with the haunting "The Red & the Black," followed by the introspective "O.D.'d On Life Itself," and the fiery "Hot Rails to Hell." Each song is a testament to the band's ability to blend heavy riffs with thoughtful lyrics, creating a sound that is both powerful and introspective. "7 Screaming Diz-Busters" and "Baby Ice Dog" continue the album's momentum, while "Wings Wetted Down" and "Teen Archer" offer moments of reflection. The album concludes with the enigmatic "Mistress of the Salmon Salt (Quicklime Girl)," leaving the listener with a sense of the band's unique vision. Recorded under Columbia Records, "Tyranny and Mutation" is a cornerstone of Blue Öyster Cult's discography, essential for any fan of classic and hard rock.

This LP was released in 1973.

  • Labeling Variant Spotted

    5 out of 5 stars
    nOxgpIvkXOctober 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I've got the one with black-on-red A / red-on-black B labelings, which is surely not the same as what's shown here, but it's the only variant I've spotted with the back cover barcode reissue.

  • Blue Oyster Cult's Crisp Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    waqzeosielahJuly 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This record sounds fantastic, incredibly crisp and distinct. And, of course, it's a fantastic BOC album. There's a lot of enjoyable tempo shifts and pauses, peculiar lyrics, and Dharma's awesome guitar riffs.

  • Speakers Corner Delivers Clarity

    5 out of 5 stars
    LpasunuzHiugSoprelsJune 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The original US copy I've got is harsh & squashed, making it downright uncomfortable to listen to with headphones. But this Speakers Corner version? No such issues, just a sweet tonal balance that lets me turn it up loud (like it oughta be!)

  • Speakers Corners: Superb Re-Release

    5 out of 5 stars
    cpheso10May 30, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Speakers Corners has truly outdone themselves with this superb re-release. The audio quality is right up there with the original I bought way back in the mid-70s, boasting a spot-on tonal balance (no funny business with the equalization), yet offering even more depth and crispness. The pressing is absolutely top-notch - pristine and silent, even surpassing my ancient copy, which, let's just say, might have seen one too many spins.

  • Incredible Album, Top-Notch Release

    5 out of 5 stars
    Lepujux53May 10, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Incredible album, incredible packaging. It's a top-notch release. Every song is a winner.
