Blue Öyster Cult The Revölution by Night (Vinyl, CBS Records, 1983) ***
Genre: Heavy Metal
Places I remember: Marbecks Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Plenty to choose from on these albums but as a highlight I'll go with Burnin' For You.
Gear costume: Take Me Away, Shooting Shark, Shadow Of California (TRBN)
Active compensatory factors: These two are bracketed because they form the twin peaks of the BÖC in their eighties pomp and power.

Title track, Fire Of Unknown Origin, has lyrics by one Patti Smith and that's a good omen. Although Burnin' For You instantly became a stand out, each song on the album is a winner for various different reasons. It's also produced by Martin Birch who always creates an amazing soundscape.
The Revölution by Night continued the high quality control with another great set of catchy pop/rock songs. Note: Patti's lyrics appear again on Shooting Shark.
Where do they all belong? That's it for the BÖC albums. Quite a ride!
