I believe this song's lyrics were from Joe Bouchard's pen. All songs on this release are from 1978 thru 1983 and had been in their former audio engineers vault, Richie did some of the mixing to get them published.
I love this vibe that BÖC has with horror things. Watching this clip it came to my mind that it would fit very well with the Supernatural tv show hahaha
So happy to be able to hear these amazing songs that for whatever reason did not make it onto the albums. We got the Buck Dharma Archives many years ago that were terrific and now we get the Blue Oyster Cult archives! Great to hear Albert, Joe and all the boys together again on vinyl!
I'm surprised that of all of Richie's "Easter Eggs" dropped in this video as references to earlier BOC songs and symbols, nobody has mentioned that the mansion is surrounded by a wheat field...surely a reference to the Reaper's scythe, and wheat being prominently featured on other BOC albums (such as Cult Classic). Also, note that the windows are barred in the center of the mansion, a nod to "Astronomy".
Thanks for pointing out the reference of the wheat field in Cult Classic! My interpretation of the wheat field was a reference to the initial scene of the movie Heavy Metal but your interpretation makes more sense from a pure BOC tribute perspective. And I totally missed the barred windows reference to Astronomy! Thanks for finding it!
After seeing BOC here in Reno in the summer of 2022 and being blown away at how phenomenal that show was, I figured that was the "bucket list" concert. Fast forward to 2024 and this wonderful news! Thank you for keeping the dream alive.
One of my dreams is to be able to go to a show by this wonderful band, but now so close to retiring, I realize that I will never be able to do it. But I'm grateful to be able to listen to your music. :´)
They’re still touring for now I believe!! Somehow! 🤣 I saw them in 2019 and can’t recommend it enough if you’re able to see them before they call it a day!
Good Luck, Dill. You cannot win if you don't play. I have been lucky enough to see them a few times from The Alaska State Fair to Charlotte,NC. and a few spots in between. Actually had a few beers with them behind the bar/venue in Hickory, NC after a show. Talked baseball and debated WW2 fighter planes. My wife collected a good pocket of guitar picks from Mr. Roeser. Got her Jean jacket signed by the band. Quite an enchanted evening, for sure. Don't forget to tip whoever sells you that lottery ticket.
If anybody had any doubt how much influence Ghost takes from BOC, this song proves it. You could play this for a Ghost fan and tell them it was Ghost and they would probably believe you.
LMAO! Complete bullshit. Ghosts older material definitely has huge BOC influence, but this sounds absolutely nothing like Ghost and any Ghost fan would easily know the difference. The vocals especially sound nothing like Tobias.
100% agree, i love Ghost but but but just don’t believe Tobias when he says he’s never really listened to BOC. Kiss the Goat, Mary on a Cross etc totally Indebted to BOC……
The deepfakes video of young Joe singing this track were an absolute treat. Richie, this whole video is absolutely stellar, and you crammed it just FULL of Easter eggs for hardcore BÖC fans. Everything from the clock on the wall reading precisely midnight to the Four Winds Bar and the statue of the Doberman from the first record (and, where I first saw it, on the *Workshop Of the Telescopes* box set, which I bought in the mid-90s, as the nearest CD shop to my Podunk town was literally a 35-40 minute drive, and they only had compilations, *AOF*, and *FOUO*, which didn’t satisfy me. I was a precocious 12-year old who was deeply into poetry AND rock ‘n’ roll, and I did things like order the collected lyrics of all BÖC songs from an address I found inside one of the compilations, took the lyrics I received in the mail to a Kinko’s, where I had them re-print them. Considering what I was paying, I got 5 copies made: I’d had them printed intro pocket-sized books, bound in black faux-leather, with the logo embossed into the cover and filled with silver paint. Inside, I made the pages of heavy paper stock that I felt was reminiscent of parchment, and I left wide margins for annotations, as well as fifteen extra pages in the back of the book for use if I ever deciphered the whole of the Pearlman mythos. I gave a copy to my best mate, who, despite being older than me, was a bit of a follower, though he was loyal to the core and would’ve taken a bullet for me, if he hadn’t ultimately taken a bullet for himself (R.I.P., Jeff). Anyroad, when I became obsessed with BÖC, so did he, and that was largely how the two of us acquired so many records/tapes/CDs so rapidly: we pooled our money and dubbed cassette copies of each other’s records. SO many afternoons spent in the shed that he used to practise his electric guitar, drinking beer and cheap vodka, doing bong rips, and alternating jamming together on the guitar, with each of us slumped into bean-bag chairs with our pens and BÖC books, minds racing. I was also, back then, a fairly formidable graphic artist, and I kept a sketch pad over Jeff’s as well. I would listen to some of the more atmospheric and evocative tracks (especially Side Two of *AOF*), whilst under the influence of cannabis, then, by 14, mescaline, and OTC sleeping pills, which when taken in large quantity (like 18 or 20 tablets) are a deliriant which creates incredibly realistic audiovisual hallucinations not merely sensory distortions, but the manifestations of actual sounds and realistic 3-D images, like shadowy figures crawling around my peripheral vision. It turned out to be the perfect drug for listening to BÖC, as it almost ALWAYS generated terrifying imagery, and there was interplay between the music/lyrics, and the hallucinations. O however, because the experience was so intense, realistic, and terrifying, it was something I did very infrequently, because unlike psychedelics, there were times I would forgotten that I’d even taken a drug. Apart from that, it did unsettling things to my circulatory system, and I began to fear it could cause a stroke, or perhaps blow up my heart. However, the point is, my obsession with BÖC was absolute, and now, 30 years later, it seems mad that I would take it all so seriously, especially now I actually know (and have known-R.I.P., Allen) the true personalities of the guys, but back then, there was a mystique around their music that only existed around the work of a few others-namely, The Doors’ more aethereal tracks, and the songs of Syd Barrett’s solo career. (All of which I also studied and learnt from, as a poet and songwriter.) I’m happy to see-30 years later-, Richie Castellano recognising that mystique and that strange hypnotic power in their songs’ imagery, and bringing it all to life in this video. I hate knowing there will be no more BÖC records past this one; however, I’m happy to know their legacy is secured, and that the Book Of Blue Öyster Cult ends with an archeological adventure through their fabled history in order to reassemble these artefacts from dissolute fragments, and like Viktor Frankenstein, to breathe life into them that the holes in their history might be filled, and their tale may be left complete. Thanks to @BlueOysterCult , @Georgegeranios, @AlbertBouchard, @JoeBouchard, and last, but not at all least, @RichieCastellano for making this extraordinary project possible.
Great, and catchy song! It's stuck in my head, which is a good thing. BOC was always a sci-fi movie making band to me, I always loved getting the images of the songs as a movie in my head. Been on board since the early '70's and it's been a fun ride. Hopefully they'll be doing one last tour, and hit WNY. Oh yeah, love the Easter eggs in the video. Nice job Richie!
The whole "Imaginos" trilogy has now been released by Albert Bouchard as it was meant to be. The original B. Ö. C. "Imaginos" as we know it is only a cut up version of that. Ok, better late than never.
Sooo hyped! The Best news of 2024! And to think I thought that „Symbol Remains” will be BÖC last album… I’n happy to write: How foolish of me! New album cover gives vibes of „Spectres”, I hope it’s gonna be as good. Can’t wait!!!
wow great music, great video, with all the mystical codes of BÖC (Joan Crawford coming out of the cemetery, the 4 winds bar with the medium bartender from the Agent Of Fortune album, the live car on your feet, on your knees, the castle of Baron von Frankenstein, the ghosts of the album specters, and of course the symbol of Saturn from BÖC 🪐) 🤘
Really good production on this and a great sounding track overall. I think Ritchie Castellano has to be given a lot of credit for taking the BOC franchise forward into the 21st century, capitalising on AI and all the latest technologies plus his creative talents. This is both classic sounding and also at the same time so much needed in the present day and age. I think the use of AI was destined to be a part of BOC, the band who has written songs on supernatural, ETI, science fiction, etc. It was just a matter of time. Rock on BOC! Looking forward to the album's release on 12th April.
Ok that's what I call a great freaking surprise. Amazing guys to hear the original line-ups in never heard songs and one new song with actual gang. Can't wait. Hope it will get a CD release
I did NOT like this album very much the first time I heard it. But after giving it several chances, I now adore it. Got the LP (vinyl) for my birthday, still need to pick up the CD. It's so funny how it usually takes a few listens for the songs to click. Symbol Remains was the same way.
Wow what a great track, that's Joe Bouchard singing isn't it; if I'm not mistaken, probably meant for Fire of Unknown Origin, sounds like his tune Vengeance( The Pact) that opened side 2..
I've been since the 70's...2017, that's great. Glad you discovered them. Their music is a journey you'll never regret taking once you, if you haven't already discovered. It's more than music.
This song give me peace. I don,t know why. But I relax me so much with this song. I would like to live in a haunted mansion away from the shit that is the current world
I wanted to know how some CGI companies manage to make money, because they live in the PS1 era. Also, the music is just OK, nothing special. But, it's good to see the guys active. Keep it up!
There will be two more live albums this year, both from the 50th anniversary shows in New York City, Sept 2022. We've already had the first one (Night 1 - first album), Night 2 (Tyranny and Mutation) and Night 3 (Secret Treaties) should both appear both the end of the year.
0:04 Album Cover of Imaginos 1:12 Car from a Music Video 1:06 The Lady is a Tatooed Vampire, referencing the Song "Tattoo Vampire" and "The Lady in White" from "I Love the Night" (Thx obtenebration) 1:22 There lies Romeo and Juliet, like in the Song "Dont fear the Reaper" 1:27 Theres a Song called "Joan Crawford" where its said that Joan Crawford Has risen from her grave 1:56 Albumcover from "Workshop of the Telescopes" (Not "some Egyptian Stuff") 5:12 The Agent from the Cover of "Agents of Fortune" and a Live Album 5:18 There are sitting at the "Four Winds Bar" that is mentioned in more than one Song, but Astronomy is the Most Popular one. 5:20 of course the Reaper is from Dont fear the Reaper. So one could say, they Honored at least One Music Video, Four Songs and Three Album Covers within this Video. And probably theres much more references!
Respectfully, I'd submit that in addition to the Tatooed Vampire at 1:06, she also represents "' the lovely lady in white by my side" from I Love the Night off the Spectres album.
I've always loved Blue Oyster Cult, and enjoy every album they put out to various degrees, but I have to say, this song is really something special. I know it's made from an older recording, and maybe that's why it seems to have a slightly out of time feel to it, but that really works in it's favor. It's almost like it came from an alternate universe version of B.O.C. where there were no falling outs between band members, and everybody is still working together with a common goal. The song is eerie, mysterious, and catchy with just enough Heavy Metal to give it some guts while retaining the melodic hooks of a great pop rock song. In other words, it's perfect. I look forward to getting my hands on this album when it drops.
I've waited nearly 40 years for the Bouchard Brothers to make music with this band, which is an absolute travesty. While I'm absolutely euphoric to hear this it's bittersweet because I think of all those decades of great music they could have made together.
So awesome to see and hear the bouchard bros and the late allen lanier. Miss those guys. This tune is eerie and magical. Richie did an awesome job making the vid and restoring the music. LONG LIVE THE CULT !
Yesterday, I just learned that BÖC will release their final studio album in April (I'm saddened but very excited at the same time...) So, I'd like to sincerely thank that excellent band for their invaluable contribution to rock'n'roll music; you'll be forever remembered !
Their final studio album?!? Really? If true, I am truly saddened, but then again, I thought Club Ninja was gonna be their final studio album, and boy, was I wrong. LOL I don't know if the band reads these comments or not, but just in case, To any and all that have worked, in any capacity, with the mighty immortal force of nature that is Blue Oyster Cult, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my (loving) heart for the many years of true enjoyment that you have given to me, through your dedication, and holding true to your initial ideals. No one can ever say you guys sold out, and your constant touring cannot be easy. I am sure you have sacrificed much to bring your fans the joy and wonder that you do. Your influence on modern music is incomprehensible, surpassing most bands that get appreciated for it. I can't tell you how many times I have jammed with someone, and often playing a completely unrelated genre (like funk, or new age, etc) that, at some point, would cite you as an influence, or would unexpectantly launch into one of your tunes. Your music is truly held like a secret underground cult, and there are many acolytes, far and wide, that continue to propagate your influence, if not openly, then through their own creations, with visions of the light thatnever warms shining through, and references hidden here and there within their own works. You are truly amazing, and I am extremely glad I was lucky enough to be born into a timeframe where I have enjoyed you practically my whole life. There is no way I could ever repay you for all you have done for me, or helped me through, in my life, but I really want you to know how truly fucking appreciated and admired you all are. You are no longer a band, but more of an institution, and it is before this institution that I humble myself and offer my most sincere gratitude. Thank you! When I leave this earthly existence, I hope I can take a piece of your music with me to enjoy in the afterlife, if there is such a thing. Again, thank-you.
I think he added back the musical diversity they lost when the Bouchard brothers left. When I was a much younger person I saw them shortly after Albert left and at the time I thought "Well drummers come and go all the time". But looking back that's where you can really spot a huge difference in sound, IMO. Buck and Eric have a certain sound to things they create, and there is nothing wrong with that, but Albert added a lot of variety and depth. I was listening to The Brain Surgeons one day and I thought "wow, if you put this together with BÖC you get old BÖC".
@valis992000 It's alchemical. 🤙 I think they sound way better than most bands from their era currently. Eric Bloom still has that menacing kind of vibe after all these years. Like if that dude came in the room at an afterparty/late bar or something, you would know he was someone not to talk to until introduced. He's been involved in some shit...
@@sunjester8254 Since the rest of the original lineup was short it never really stood out in large arenas or concert halls when they were up on stage. But yeah, you see them now in a more intimate setting and the size thing is obvious.
I am a B.Ö.C maniac, living in a parallel universe. This song is very good indeed and the melody reminds me "Dial M For Murder" and "Night Flyer", two outakes from "Spectres" period (1977/78). All their magic and mystery is here. They build it slowly and it rocks ! Very impressive video too... Can't wait to put my hands on their new album !
WOW. Great work with this video Ritchie. And great music from another age and world (79 - 83 ). I wait for full album to buy. Long Live BOC . You can here clearly the influence of Alan and Albert.

...or both.
or veterans of thousands psychic wars
Love it. That's how it works. For real.
Or Ghosts, Spectres.
We already are and have always been thus.
All of the references! Richie has outdone himself.
Wonderfully mystic song and video

@@billstanton9446 I had heard it was like Van Halen's A Different Kind Of Truth.
They are amazing. This song is so twisted. Can't get it out of my head.
I love this vibe that BÖC has with horror things. Watching this clip it came to my mind that it would fit very well with the Supernatural tv show hahaha
Trying to decide if the car is Christine
They were included (sort of) in one of the early seasons of Supernatural. Great show, great band!
I actually got chills when the Lady in White entered Four Winds Bar!
You and the Guys Rock Richie!! Always my favs!
So happy to be able to hear these amazing songs that for whatever reason did not make it onto the albums. We got the Buck Dharma Archives many years ago that were terrific and now we get the Blue Oyster Cult archives! Great to hear Albert, Joe and all the boys together again on vinyl!
Margaret and I concur. 😊
WOW! Bravo Joe Bouchard! And it's Rick Downey on drums?! Wild!
I'm surprised that of all of Richie's "Easter Eggs" dropped in this video as references to earlier BOC songs and symbols, nobody has mentioned that the mansion is surrounded by a wheat field...surely a reference to the Reaper's scythe, and wheat being prominently featured on other BOC albums (such as Cult Classic). Also, note that the windows are barred in the center of the mansion, a nod to "Astronomy".
Thanks for pointing out the reference of the wheat field in Cult Classic! My interpretation of the wheat field was a reference to the initial scene of the movie Heavy Metal but your interpretation makes more sense from a pure BOC tribute perspective. And I totally missed the barred windows reference to Astronomy! Thanks for finding it!
What a treat . A Legendary band if there ever was one.
2024 is shaping up for a great year in Rock & Metal releases! Can't wait for this!!!
Love seeing all the old BOC imagery.
Just preordered the CD. This better not be the last record. Excuse me now, I have to listen to curse of the hidden mirror, which is awesome.
one of the best rock bands ever.
Excited for this album! Great tune!! Cheers all!
BÖC. Always and forever for me. My nr 1 band.
... near one ...?
Another masterpiece from my favorite band of all time! So haunting....sooo nice! Great job to everyone involved!
After seeing BOC here in Reno in the summer of 2022 and being blown away at how phenomenal that show was, I figured that was the "bucket list" concert.

バンドの黄金期の素材を引っ張り出してきたのだから、悪いアルバムになる筈がないだろう。
しかし、これが最後のBOCのアルバムとなって欲しくはない。
最後のアルバムはやはり、現在のラインナップで制作されたものであるべきだ。
Or, even better, the 'last' album should never be made at all. I hope they are still putting out albums for my great-great grandchildren to listen to.

I didn't know ghost was making new music!
Sounds like old good GHOST
More cow bell please
The Rock says Take that cowbell,
Shine it up real nice...etc.
The video looks like it's an indie game made in about 2005ish I dig the song though
Not enough cow bell
That portrait of Rick Downey tho.
4:07 to the end sounds like Albert on vocals
Right out of “Spectres”…
Thought there was a live album coming out next. I guess I'm wrong. Like the song and where it's going.
There will be two more live albums this year, both from the 50th anniversary shows in New York City, Sept 2022. We've already had the first one (Night 1 - first album), Night 2 (Tyranny and Mutation) and Night 3 (Secret Treaties) should both appear both the end of the year.
0:04 Album Cover of Imaginos
1:12 Car from a Music Video
1:06 The Lady is a Tatooed Vampire, referencing the Song "Tattoo Vampire" and "The Lady in White" from "I Love the Night" (Thx obtenebration)
1:22 There lies Romeo and Juliet, like in the Song "Dont fear the Reaper"
1:27 Theres a Song called "Joan Crawford" where its said that Joan Crawford Has risen from her grave
1:56 Albumcover from "Workshop of the Telescopes" (Not "some Egyptian Stuff")
5:12 The Agent from the Cover of "Agents of Fortune" and a Live Album
5:18 There are sitting at the "Four Winds Bar" that is mentioned in more than one Song, but Astronomy is the Most Popular one.
5:20 of course the Reaper is from Dont fear the Reaper.
So one could say, they Honored at least One Music Video, Four Songs and Three Album Covers within this Video.
And probably theres much more references!
I appreciate this analysis
Respectfully, I'd submit that in addition to the Tatooed Vampire at 1:06, she also represents "' the lovely lady in white by my side" from I Love the Night off the Spectres album.
@obtenebration2654 ...she was a vampire, too. "No mortal was meant to know such wonder. One look in the mirror told me so"
@@obtenebration2654 youre Right! and maybe this is the answer to who is the Lovely Lady: A Vampyre.
had no idea we were getting more BOC. count this as the best surprise of the yr. "The Symbol Remains" was my AOY in 2020 (jeebus, 4yrs already)
These are all old unreleased tracks but still could be fun
@@allentate3760 ah yes, i see. i should've clicked on the "read more" bit
There is a God
The symbol remains is excellent, especially Secret Road
@@Vincent-fo7xp Secret Road is classic BOC. It could have been on any of their albums.
Richie Castellano is truly the secret weapon in BÖC's arsenal! Really fitting title to an album of songs "lost and found".
Really! Is there anything Richie can't do???
Richie is the man!
Lost and Found - that was the name of Eric "Manny" Bloom's college band.😊
Can't think of a nicer guy and oh so much talent to back that up!
Dude, BIG TIME. If not for him, I don't think we'd have any of the material we've gotten over the last years.
Brand new classic BOC, straight from Four Winds Bar! Thanks Richie!
🤟🧙♂🤟
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
" Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in light... And the lovely lady in white was by my side"
Credit must be given George Geranios ! Without him no record!! Thanks George!!❤❤😊😊
I’ll second that!❤❤❤😊
@@JoeBouchardRockStar Thank you for the music Joe, I'm really digging the song!
I've always loved Blue Oyster Cult, and enjoy every album they put out to various degrees, but I have to say, this song is really something special. I know it's made from an older recording, and maybe that's why it seems to have a slightly out of time feel to it, but that really works in it's favor. It's almost like it came from an alternate universe version of B.O.C. where there were no falling outs between band members, and everybody is still working together with a common goal. The song is eerie, mysterious, and catchy with just enough Heavy Metal to give it some guts while retaining the melodic hooks of a great pop rock song. In other words, it's perfect. I look forward to getting my hands on this album when it drops.
Perfectly said.
My late friend,the biggest fan I ever met would agree with you both-I certainly do.
Well said - been a BOC fan from the beginning, to a dozen live shows and this is spooky good 😎
Been to 13 live
Tension makes for great emotions
BOC are the BEST!!! Bought their first LP when they were unknowns. I am now 66 and looking forward to the new ALbum.
Very cool video, guys! Your hard work is much appreciated. 👍😎👍
American Rocker is goood
I've waited nearly 40 years for the Bouchard Brothers to make music with this band, which is an absolute travesty. While I'm absolutely euphoric to hear this it's bittersweet because I think of all those decades of great music they could have made together.
So awesome to see and hear the bouchard bros and the late allen lanier. Miss those guys. This tune is eerie and magical. Richie did an awesome job making the vid and restoring the music. LONG LIVE THE CULT !
Yesterday, I just learned that BÖC will release their final studio album in April (I'm saddened but very excited at the same time...) So, I'd like to sincerely thank that excellent band for their invaluable contribution to rock'n'roll music; you'll be forever remembered !
*studio album
There are a couple of live albums that will be coming out soon
Thank you so much for the update; I edited my message ! 😁@@francisdawson4092
What a great comment.🌟My favorite band.Long Live Rock!
You're welcome ! 😁@@vinceleone3952
Their final studio album?!? Really? If true, I am truly saddened, but then again, I thought Club Ninja was gonna be their final studio album, and boy, was I wrong. LOL I don't know if the band reads these comments or not, but just in case, To any and all that have worked, in any capacity, with the mighty immortal force of nature that is Blue Oyster Cult, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my (loving) heart for the many years of true enjoyment that you have given to me, through your dedication, and holding true to your initial ideals. No one can ever say you guys sold out, and your constant touring cannot be easy. I am sure you have sacrificed much to bring your fans the joy and wonder that you do. Your influence on modern music is incomprehensible, surpassing most bands that get appreciated for it. I can't tell you how many times I have jammed with someone, and often playing a completely unrelated genre (like funk, or new age, etc) that, at some point, would cite you as an influence, or would unexpectantly launch into one of your tunes. Your music is truly held like a secret underground cult, and there are many acolytes, far and wide, that continue to propagate your influence, if not openly, then through their own creations, with visions of the light thatnever warms shining through, and references hidden here and there within their own works. You are truly amazing, and I am extremely glad I was lucky enough to be born into a timeframe where I have enjoyed you practically my whole life. There is no way I could ever repay you for all you have done for me, or helped me through, in my life, but I really want you to know how truly fucking appreciated and admired you all are. You are no longer a band, but more of an institution, and it is before this institution that I humble myself and offer my most sincere gratitude. Thank you! When I leave this earthly existence, I hope I can take a piece of your music with me to enjoy in the afterlife, if there is such a thing. Again, thank-you.
Love the "Joan" crawling out of the grave. Joan Crawford is my favorite BÖC track!
Did you notice her grave was between Romeo and juliet
It's both a new album and a classic album? And they said it couldn't be done!
It's nice to see Richie recognized in this comment section. He's so important to modern BOC.
I think he added back the musical diversity they lost when the Bouchard brothers left. When I was a much younger person I saw them shortly after Albert left and at the time I thought "Well drummers come and go all the time". But looking back that's where you can really spot a huge difference in sound, IMO. Buck and Eric have a certain sound to things they create, and there is nothing wrong with that, but Albert added a lot of variety and depth. I was listening to The Brain Surgeons one day and I thought "wow, if you put this together with BÖC you get old BÖC".
@valis992000 It's alchemical. 🤙 I think they sound way better than most bands from their era currently. Eric Bloom still has that menacing kind of vibe after all these years. Like if that dude came in the room at an afterparty/late bar or something, you would know he was someone not to talk to until introduced. He's been involved in some shit...
Richie doesn't fit with BOC.
@@TheChadTI Eric's like 5 feet tall. Even he said that the idea of him being "menacing" is silly.
@@sunjester8254 Since the rest of the original lineup was short it never really stood out in large arenas or concert halls when they were up on stage. But yeah, you see them now in a more intimate setting and the size thing is obvious.
Love the portrait scene. Sad and happy to see Allen's. Really miss that guy
Cool they added Rick Downey
This is beautiful - keep it comin. This is cryptic, mysterious, killer chorus, great melody, one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever.
Joe Bouchard singing, NICE.
Well Hot Rails to Hell... More BOC! I'll have to dust off my Symbol tattoo👽
I am a B.Ö.C maniac, living in a parallel universe. This song is very good indeed and the melody reminds me "Dial M For Murder" and "Night Flyer", two outakes from "Spectres" period (1977/78). All their magic and mystery is here. They build it slowly and it rocks ! Very impressive video too... Can't wait to put my hands on their new album !
As good as anything that got released and up there with their spooky best. Just can’t stop playing it.
WOW.
Great work with this video Ritchie.
And great music from another age and world (79 - 83 ).
I wait for full album to buy.
Long Live BOC . You can here clearly the influence of Alan and Albert.
Cool to hear an old / new JB vocal
