BOC: ETL ain't no surf music

And the classic "holy beep" introduction to Godzilla is unsurpassable, not
to mention the live "Black Blade" (a rather "frantic" sound it has too),
"Joan Crawford"'s piano closing, and (well deservedto be encapsulated in
vinyl-with the Real percussionist to boot) "Dominance and Submission."
Its good and it has "the words" more or less to the tunes. The artwork
among the best I think out of all the other BOC lps- colorful, and
sufficiently non-standard rock fare.

>as one of their favorites.  The only worthless BOC albums are some of

Amen to that.  Though _Career of Evil:the Metal Years_ has some really
whacked out liner notes....also for the FAQ: it does not include "Redeemed"
in its rundown of songs on lp 1.
Q: how many BOC tours had programmes and what were they like?

Interesting aside, I let my Zeppelin loving neighbor borrow OYFoOYK and
upon listening he said," Not bad, but too jazzy for me."  Nothing quite
like the cruising thunder of BOC live and in top form--an uncageable animal
indeed.
