It contains every album produced under their contract to [[Columbia Records]] (''[[Blue Öyster Cult (album)|Blue Öyster Cult]]''–''[[Imaginos]]''), as well as two compilation discs and a set of digital downloads. It was released on October 30, 2012 by the Legacy Recordings subsidiary of Sony Music. ''[[Rarities]]'' is a compilation of demos, live performances, and pre-BÖC material that had yet to see an official release. ''[[Radios Appear: The Best of the Broadcasts]]'' is a compilation of several live performances from the height of their career. ''[[Harvester of Lives]]'' is a four-concert set of digital downloads available via a one-use code to those who purchased the collection. The concerts, though incomplete, took place from 1980 to 1986 and total five hours of material. == Personnel == === Blue Öyster Cult === * [[Eric Bloom]] – lead vocals, stun guitar, keyboards, drums * [[Buck Dharma|Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser]] – lead guitar, vocals, drums * [[Allen Lanier]] – keyboards, guitar, vocals * [[Joe Bouchard]] – bass, vocals * [[Albert Bouchard]] – drums, vocals, guitar * [[Rick Downey]] – drums * [[Tommy Zvoncheck]] – keyboards * [[Jimmy Wilcox]] – drums * [[Jon Rogers]] – bass === Production === * Bruce Dickinson – producer * Steve Schenck – producer * Vic Anesini – mastering * Maria Triana – mastering * Darren Salmieri – Legacy A&R * Bryan Koniarz – project director * Edward O'Dowd – design * Sandy Speiser – photos (pages 2–3) * Don Hunstein – photos (pages 7, 16–17, 24, 28–29, 38) * Art Maillet – photos (pages 18–19) * Thanks to Sean Brennan, John Conroy, Jeff Frederick, Vanessa Gonzales, Jeremy Holiday, John Jackson, Matt Kelly, Donna Kloepfer, Mike Kull, Jim Lane, Mike Panico, Jeffrey Schulberg, Tim Sturges, Tom Tierney == Album listing == # ''[[Blue Öyster Cult (album)|Blue Öyster Cult]] '' # ''[[Tyranny and Mutation]]'' # ''[[Secret Treaties]]'' # ''[[On Your Feet or on Your Knees]]'' # ''[[Agents of Fortune]]'' # ''[[Spectres]]'' # ''[[Some Enchanted Evening]]'' ## ''Some OTHER Enchanted Evening'' (DVD) # ''[[Mirrors (album)|Mirrors]]'' # ''[[Cultösaurus Erectus]]'' # ''[[Fire of Unknown Origin (album)|Fire of Unknown Origin]]'' # ''[[Extraterrestrial Live]]'' # ''[[The Revölution by Night]]'' # ''[[Club Ninja]]'' # ''[[Imaginos (album)|Imaginos]]'' # ''[[Rarities]]'' # ''[[Radios Appear: The Best of the Broadcasts]]'' # ''[[Harvester of Lives]]'' (digital download) == The Columbia Albums Collectiön Sampler == {{Main|The Columbia Albums Collectiön Sampler}} Prior to the release of the box set, a promotional sampler CD was released containing selected tracks from throughout the compilation.
