Secret Treaties is the third studio album by American rock band Blue Öyster Cult, released in April 1974 by Columbia. The album spent 14 weeks in the US album charts, peaking at No. 53. It was certified gold by the RIAA in 1992. In 1975, a poll of critics of the British magazine Melody Maker voted Secret Treaties the "Top Rock Album of All Time". In 2010, Rhapsody called it one of the all-time best "proto-metal" albums.

While the speed-freak adrenaline heaviness and shrouded occult mystery of Tyranny and Mutation is the watermark for Blue Öyster Cult's creative invention, it is Secret Treaties that is widely and critically regarded as the band's classic. Issued in 1974, Secret Treaties is the purest distillation of all of BÖC's strengths. Here the songs are expansive, and lush in their textures. The flamboyance is all here, and so are the overdriven guitar riffs provided by Buck Dharma and Eric Bloom.

Tracks 1-8: originally recorded and released in 1974 as Columbia KC 32858. Tracks 9-11: previously unreleased outtakes from the "Secret Treaties" sessions. Track 12: from Columbia single 3-10169, recorded 1974. Track 13: A-side of Columbia single 3-10046, recorded 1974.

BÖC’s 1974 album recruited songwriting sophisticates like punk poet Patti Smith (for the statement of purpose Career of Evil ) and gonzo rock critic Richard Meltzer (the probably Ramones-inspiring Cagey Cretins ) to create a cabal of songs that really do sound like secret treaties. Spookily catchy riffs from another dimension propel lyrics about Nazi warplanes, space science, and eye harvesting; as things carry on, it only gets stranger. Some of it may be tongue-in-cheek-but unless you’re in the band, you’ll never know for sure. Secret Treaties Blue Öyster Cult.

I remember when the jacket to this album was still white. So much for the matte finish. Like the one pictured here, my copy is now a medium shade of brown and I don't even smoke.

I found a decently white and clean copy. Will post pictures to replace these current bad ones.

Funny enough I got a copy of Aerosmith's Draw The Line in the same haul as this album and they both have really dingy matte covers. I just consider it a part of the album art! The printed inner sleeve of Secret Treaties is great. The first BOC in my collection :)
