It was released on June 14, 1980 by [[Columbia Records]], peaking at No. 34 on the Billboard 200 on August 23 and holding for two weeks. Despite a return to the band's heavier roots following their experiment with a more radio-friendly sound on ''[[Mirrors (album)|Mirrors]]'', it did not receive Gold certification. ''Cultösaurus Erectus'' is the first of two albums produced by Martin Birch, who would return for the following album, ''[[Fire of Unknown Origin (album)|Fire of Unknown Origin]]''. This album spawned one single in the United States, "[[The Marshall Plan|Here's Johnny (The Marshall Plan)]]" / "[[Divine Wind]]", which did not chart. The following tour to promote the album, the Black and Blue Tour, saw Blue Öyster Cult co-headlining arenas with Black Sabbath at the suggestion of [[Sandy Pearlman]], who was at the time managing both bands. The resulting video, ''[[Black and Blue]]'', contained footage from both bands' performance on October 17, 1980 and was released to theatres after the tour's conclusion in 1981. == Personnel == === Blue Öyster Cult === * [[Eric Bloom]] – guitar, keyboards, vocals * [[Albert Bouchard]] – drums, vocals * [[Joe Bouchard]] – bass, vocals * [[Allen Lanier]] – guitar, keyboards * [[Buck Dharma|Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser]] – guitar, bass, keyboards, vocals === Additional musicians === * Don Kirshner – vocals ("The Marshall Plan") * Mark Rivera – saxophone ("Monsters") === Production === * Martin Birch – producer, engineer * Clay Hutchinson – engineer * Bruce Slayton – TCB * George Geranios – TCB * Paula Scher – cover design * Richard Clifton-Dey – front cover art * American Museum of Natural History – back cover photos * Special thanks to Tony Cedrone, George Geranios, the Kingdom Sound Staff, Bob Se, See Factory Industry * Very special thanks to Don Kirschner == Track listing == {| class="wikitable" !# !Title !Writer(s) !Lead vocals !Length |- | colspan="5" |'''Side one''' |- |1 |[[Black Blade]] |Bloom, Michael Moorcock, John Trivers |Bloom |6:34 |- |2 |[[Monsters]] |A.
