A some blurbs found in the Koch release of CN.  BTW the cd is handsomely
painted and the packaging very nice.  Glad I waited for this one.

"The fortunes of Blue Oyster Cult should not be measured by Club Ninja,
yet for many of the faithful hordes who haunt the internet with their
nightly debates over Bolle's Tapelist or where the hidden symbol of
Kronos appears on each and every BOC album cover, Club Ninja remains an
astonishing work.  Perhaps its because for every Oystergrl and Oysterboy
who wonder whatever happened to Eric Bloom's "natty black silk Japanese
pyjamas from the Cult Classic tour", there are still others who discover
the reverbrations of BOC and Imaginos in the work of Umberto Eco or the
hidden mystery of Ezekiel's Wheel."

        "Club Ninja has lost none of its edge in the decade since its release
-- and to those legions of BOC loyalist whose attempts at finding the
long deleted Columbia CD are rewarded with this re-issue, we can only
applaud your preserverence.  These are the same Blue Oyster Cult fans
who have supported the band's gigs over the past ten years, and succeded
in turning on a new generation of true believers.  These are the fans
who keep AOL's Music Message Center bulletin board crammed with
questions (and answers!) to tease the id in all of us:  Whats your
favorite BOC album cover? Why?  When did you first see or hear them?
Whats your best volume on witchcraft and the occult?  Whats the story
behind Ezekiel's Wheel?  Clearly, BOC still rules --with a mighty hand
and an outstrecthed arm!"
