Blue Oyster Cult
Secret Treaties
'Secret Treaties' is the third studio album by American rock band Blue Öyster Cult, released in 1974. It features the same band members and production team as their previous album 'Tyranny & Mutation', but also the only album that does not feature a track with lead vocals sung by guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser. Lyrics to the lead-off track 'Career Of Evil' were written by future punk poet Patti Smith, a longtime contributor to the band (and, at the time, girlfriend of keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Allen Lanier). Comes on 180 gram vinyl.
