More like 95 I think - Heaven Forbid eventually came out in 1998.  And
Ezekiel's Wheel would have been a much cooler title (and hopefully
better album cover artwork).

That same recording also appeared as a CD called "Nail You Down" - good
version to be sure.  If the King Biscuit recordings ever get released
(which I somehow doubt), we'll get to hear probably an even better
version, recorded I believe in New York in the 75-77 time period.  A bit
of feedback during the song may mar the listening experience for some,
but it has one of the coolest intros for the band I have ever heard:

"The terror you spawned has returned to it's homeland!  Here they are
from New York City, the amazing Blue Oyster Cult!"
