Released in 1989 by Columbia, and should not be confused with the 1997 Sony release of the same name, or with the 2000 Sony release *Don't Fear The Reaper - The Best Of Blue Oyster Cult*. Some of the versions used on this recording were the single, not the album versions.

The most notable differences include the edited version of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" (the guitar solo section was cut).

"Career Of Evil" omits the second verse of the song, and is edited (apparently the line, "Do it to your daughter on a dirt road" was considered too controversial -- the vocals were either re-recorded or re-mixed so the line says "Do it like ya oughtta on a dirt road").

"Born To Be Wild" is a studio version of the song (the riff is different) which appeared as the B-side to a single release of the live version (from *On Your Feet Or On Your Knees*).

The version of "Buck's Boogie" is a live version from a 1972 show in New York that appeared on Columbia's promo issue "Bootleg EP".
