Probably (having five BOC albums myself and still havent realized what all
the hype is about) I would recommend all the Moorcock written stuff -
`Black Blade' off Cultosaurus, `Great sun jester' off Mirrors and `Veteran
of a thousand Psychic wars' off Fire of unknown origin - which isn't a bad
album all things considered. `On your feet or on your knees' is arguably
their best, contains good live versions of a large chunk of their career.
