St. Cecilia: The Elektra Recordings is a compilation album consisting of recordings by the American rock band the Stalk–Forrest Group, who would later be known as Blue Öyster Cult. It is a combination of two albums recorded by the group for Elektra Records – one in 1969 and the other in 1970 – as well as the promotional single "What is Quicksand?" released in 1970. Except for the single, the tracks were not officially released until 2001, although bootlegs had existed and individual tracks had been released as bonus tracks to other albums. The band had originated as "Soft White Underbelly" in 1967 but went through several names under its creative director Sandy Pearlman. Soft White Underbelly had recorded demos for Elektra with its original lead vocalist Les Braunstein, and re-recorded them with new vocalist Eric Bloom in 1969, the re-recordings with Bloom forming the first half of the compilation album. Elektra, who had liked Braunstein, declined to release the album with Bloom despite its completion and mixing.
