Blue Öyster Cult - Imaginos (Columbia/Sony, 1988)

Blue Öyster Cult's Imaginos
I stole young Albert's music.



Notes
  1. As Wikipedia explains, "Albert Bouchard had been completely excluded from the retooling of the album for contractual reasons, but hoped to have his long work rewarded with a credit as co-producer, and to be paid accordingly. After the disbandment of Blue Öyster Cult, he contacted the other band members in an attempt to organize a 1987 reunion tour, with the original line-up, to promote Imaginos. His economic and membership requests were both rejected, due to resistances within the label and within the band, so he filed a lawsuit in 1989 against the management of Blue Öyster Cult and Columbia Records to receive payment for his work. The lawsuit was settled out of court, but his resentment towards Sandy Pearlman for what he felt was a theft of his work never eased, eliminating any chance of future collaborations for the completion of the Imaginos saga."
  2. Alternative anagram: Eric Bloom sang lusty suite.

Blue Öyster Cult - Curse of the Hidden Mirror (CMC/Sanctuary, 2001)

Blue Öyster Cult - Curse of the Hidden Mirror
E. Bloom's chief terror: "The CD truly ruined us!"



Notes
  1. "E. Bloom" refers to BOC guitarist/vocalist Eric Bloom, who used his first initial on the band's first two albums. 
  2. Due to the poor reception of this album, BOC was dropped from its label. The band remains unsigned as of this writing, and hasn't recorded any other studio albums.
