Imaginos was a 1988 heavy metal concept album by Blue Öyster Cult;.
The "Imaginos" concept was originally begun by producer Sandy Pearlman in 1967, before BÖC was formed. Drummer, Albert Bouchard began writing music for it following the release of the first album. Two "Imaginos" songs appeared on the 1974 album, Secret Treaties;; "Astronomy" and "Subhuman" (retitled as "Blue Öyster Cult" on Imaginos). The remaining tracks were written over the following years and in 1982, after Albert Bouchard left the band, he set about recording the songs for the project. However, CBS would only release the record as a BÖC album so it was shelved until 1988 when it was released by the current line-up of the band, without Bouchard's involvement. Despite being credited as a BÖC album, many of the performances are session musicians rather than the band.
The album entered the Billboard Top 200 on August 19, 1988, peaked at #134 and exited the charts on October 8.
