Blue Oyster Cult will release a new album, Ghost Stories, on April 12, their first new release in over three years.

The LP features various songs recorded between 1978 and 1983, with the exception of one track from 2016, "If I Fell." Included is the only known recording of their concert cover of "Kick Out the Jams" by MC5.

All of the album's songs were originally recorded on reel-to-reel analog tape, and have now been transferred to digital audio. George Geranios, the band's original audio engineer, produced the songs, along with Steve Schenck and Richie Castellano. (Castellano is also a current member of Blue Oyster Cult.)

The album's full track listing, along with its first single, "So Supernatural," is available below.

In a press release, Ghost Stories is described as a "fitting finale" to the band's "recording legacy." It is currently available for pre-ordering.

Blue Oyster Cult currently has half a dozen tour dates lined up for later this year, the first of which is scheduled to take place on March 9 in Lincoln City, Oregon.

Why does Japan always get bonus tracks?

Makes some stuff really hard to find.

FUCK yes.

B.O.C. is a group you gotta make it out to see. I've caught them more than 20 times from outdoor family festival type shows to the whole band shitfaced and barely hanging on during the Mountain's Biker Week.

Buck Dharma is one of the greatest living guitar players and he's still in his prime of primes.

I read an article before that said it's traditionally because CD production is held to higher standards there and that it makes their CDs cost more... so the extra song(s) incentive people to actually want to spend the extra money.

Dang, wasn't expecting them to call it a day, but I'm not too surprised either. The last album they recorded didn't leave too much an impression on me, but I may just need to give it another listen. Doing an outtakes-style album is an interesting way to bookend a career.

Yeah IIRC it can actually be cheaper for them to import CDs so the bonus tracks are an incentive for them to buy locally.

Interesting. Thanks.

I have a few and really can't tell the difference in sound quality. I know people love the spine cards, though.
