• Track Listing

This five-album collection takes On Your Feet or on Your Knees (’75) as its starting point. That’s the double-live LP that first launched these Long Island boys into the Top 40: a raucous rendition of Born to Be Wild plus Harvester of Eyes; Hot Rails to Hell; The Red and the Black; Cities on Flame with Rock & Roll, and more. Their hard touring and hard rocking were again captured on Some Enchanted Evening (’78), which boasts electrifying live versions of their quintessential smash (Don’t Fear) The Reaper plus Astronomy; Godzilla; R.U. Ready 2 Rock, and more. BOC cracked the Top 40 again with Cultosaurus Erectus (’80) and Fire of Unknown Origin (’81), which round out this set along with The Revolution by Night (’83); those contain another classic, Burnin’ for You, and the hit Shooting Shark plus Veins; Joan Crawford; Black Blade; Monsters; Deadline; After Dark, and more!
