The Eric Bloom Interview
The Eric Bloom Interview: "“Dial M For Murder” and “Please Hold” have the original vocals, but Buck did a new vocal on “Night Flyer” because there was no vocal on it. When these songs go by the wayside as you’re recording, it becomes obvious which songs are going to make it and which ones are not."

The Daily News Editor: My Blue Oyster Cult story

Worcester Telegram & Gazette Scott McLennan: "“Spectres” played to the band’s strengths rather than trying to replicate the balladic throb of “Reaper.” Thus, “Spectres” is a potent mix of dark humor, sarcastic kitsch, fierce guitar work, tightly constructed melodies, and the right balance of biker brawn and smart-aleck brains. "
Power Line: Don't fear the professor
Power Line: Don't fear the professor: "I didn't producer 'Reaper,' my mentor Sandy Pearlman did. I produced the album 'Imaginos' and tracks that ended up on another album, I'm not sure which one. Working on 'Imaginos' was great training -- we worked on that for several years with a budget that crept up towards $1 million. There is a lot of production on that record, lots of great sound effects and engineering. "

Music Review: Blue Öyster Cult - Spectres @ Blogcritics.org: "I was pleasantly surprised with tracks like 'Golden Age of Leather' and the vampire tribute 'Nosferatu.' I heard a lot of similarities to one of my all time favorite bands, The Guess Who, throughout the album and was also reminded of the melancholy tunes of Three Dog Night."
