JustDave's Notes:
- All I did was do a very light declick to each file and index the commercials and BBC hosts comments. No retouching of the audio was done at all.
- The record label scans were included in the original upload, the cue sheet scans come from Discogs.

Another great show from the mighty Blue Öyster Cult! I've had the luck of having seen Blue Öyster Cult live more times than I can actually remember. See there is a haze around when this was broadcast. Well, they say "... If You can remember the 1980s You weren't there." I beg to differ. If you can remember the 1980s You did not participate enough (or was that too much) and should have tried harder (remember or not remember we are all getting old so soon none of us will remember!).
