        I assume you are replying to my post, Deb.  I _realize_ there were
no novel arrangements by BOC on Imaginos, but perhaps my statement would
have been clearer if I had said a) _Imaginos_, despite what we all know,
has the BOC name on it, making in an "official" album, and b) there are
novel arrangements of songs (done by Albert) originally recorded by
BOC ("Astronomy" and "Blue Oyster Cult" [aka "The Subhuman"]).

        That is what I meant to be understood.  Thus, my reasoning for
then going on to discuss CN as a possibly better candidate for what
could be considered the last actual BOC album (followed by a discussion
of the last BOC album with the original line-up).

Cheers,
Carl
