Why This Record Matters
The Revölution By Night is Blue Öyster Cult’s 1983 studio album, produced by Bruce Fairbairn and featuring “Take Me Away,” “Shooting Shark,” and “Shadow Of California.” The record combines the band’s hard rock foundation with the more polished AOR production characteristic of the period.
