Released
May 21, 1976
Agents of Fortune is the fourth studio album by American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult, originally released by Columbia Records on May 21, 1976.
The Platinum-selling album peaked at No. 29 on the U.S. Billboard chart, while the cryptic single “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” peaked at No. 7 in Cash Box magazine and at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, making it BÖC’s biggest hit. The band became a bigger concert attraction after the release of the album, in part due to extensive airplay given to “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” to this day a staple of rock-station playlists.
