Compilation of all still existent Elektra recordings by The Stalk-Forrest Group, who later became Blue Öyster Cult. The timeline and location of these recording sessions has been reconstructed using what historical documents and memories remain, but is not without some ambiguity and contradiction, as the liner notes for the Rhino Handmade release miss the fact that four songs were only remixed and two were re-recorded entirely for the second version, and thus couldn't have been done in Los Angeles. Band members have also stated the "I'm On The Lamb" was re-recorded later in New York City for the finished master, so the logical conclusion is that the first "Oaxaca" version of the album must be from the original Los Angeles sessions. This LP also includes the promotional single released by Elektra, What Is Quicksand? / Arthur Comics. And since engineer Brian Ross-Myring worked at Elektra's Los Angeles studio, it also confirms that the initial Oaxaca sessions occurred in Los Angeles, and not in New York City as the liner notes claim. There is also a potential confusion with sessions done by Soft White Underbelly for Columbia Records in 1969, which can be found as bonus tracks on expanded editions of Blue Öyster Cult.

There were at least two recording sessions by the band. The first, recorded at Elektra's Los Angeles Sound Recorders studio, was archived under the briefly-used band name Oaxaca and resulted in a 10-song master tape. The second recording session, as The Stalk-Forest Group, was at Elektra's New York City studio where four songs were only remixed but two were re-recorded entirely to take advantage of updated arrangements. These six songs were combined with three songs from the Oaxaca master to produce a 9-song Stalk-Forrest Group master tape. Both versions of the album were rejected by Elektra and not released, although the Stalk-Forrest Group album was assigned the catalog number EKS-74046."
