Overview:
Spectres is the fifth studio album by Blue Öyster Cult, released in November 1977. The album was certified gold in January 1978 and contained the album rock hits "Godzilla", "Death Valley Nights", "R.U. Ready 2 Rock" and "I Love the Night".

The cover art is demonstrative of BÖC's use of lasers in their live show at that time. While the album didn't have the lasting power of its predecessor Agents of Fortune, it is a BÖC fan favorite.

A remaster of this album was released on CD on February 13, 2007, which included four previously unreleased outtakes from Spectres sessions as bonus tracks.
"Goin' Through the Motions" was later covered by Bonnie Tyler on her album Faster Than the Speed of Night.

As of June 2012, this is the last studio album to have been remastered and reissued with bonus tracks in the BÖC catalogue.
