Rare BOC:
NM vinyl copy of the classic first Blue Oyster Cult album.
Cover is NM as well, except for very faint wear at the corners.  In amazing shape.

In the early 70s, in the innersleeve of the first pressing (which was an album I wore out) of their 2nd album, "Tyranny and Mvtation" was an arcane note telling the reader to send a SASE to a mysterious address and "someone" would send you the printed lyrics of the album.  So, back in 1973 I did that -- a stuffed envelope came back to me with printed lyrics for "Tyranny..." and for this first BOC album.  HOWEVER, for whatever reason, the printout doesn't include all songs on this first album.  Lyrics are included on the printout for only these songs: She's As Beautiful As a Foot I'm On the Lamb But I Ain't No Sheep Transmaniacon MC In the Workshop Of Telescopes Redeemed (Sir 'Rastus Bear) Before the Kiss a Redcap
Photos 7, 8, 9 and 10 show the old "tractor feed" printout of these lyrics.  Back way before the internet, none of us could figure out what the hell Eric was even saying when he sang -- but we knew it was cool ...

I've heard these lyric sheets talked about in forums but I've never seen them listed on ebay or elsewhere.
Message me with questions. No returns.  Please look at photos. Glad to consider offers.

Thanks for looking.
