Magic Carpet Ride; The Dunhill / ABC Years 1967-1971 = 8 CD Box = (CD)

Steppenwolf was formed in LA in 1967 by John Kay (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Goldy McJohn (organ, piano) and Jerry Edmonton (drums), who were previously members of the Canadian band The Sparrows. They were joined by Michael Monarch (lead guitar) and Rushton Moreve (bass). The band signed to Dunhill / ABC the same year and recorded their self-titled debut album with producer Gabriel Mekler. The band became successful with their classic single "Born To Be Wild" (a number two hit in the U.S.) and became even more famous when the song, along with their version of "The Pusher," was featured in the classic 1969 counterculture film "Easy Rider." 'The Second' was released in October '68 and included the hit single 'Magic Carpet Ride' (another US #2 hit). In March '69, 'At Your Birthday Party' was released and was the first album with Nick St Nicholas on bass and the last with Michael Monarch. 'Early Steppenwolf', released in July 1969, featured live recordings made in May 1967 at The Matrix in San Francisco and included a 20-minute version of 'The Pusher'. The band's next studio album, "Monster," was released in November 1969 and dealt with America's involvement in the Vietnam War. in 1970 the band released two albums, the double LP "Steppenwolf Live" and "Steppenwolf 7" With the release of the latter album, the band's popularity began to wane slightly, although they managed to retain a large and loyal fan base. The album "For Ladies Only", released in November 1971, was their last for Dunhill / ABC, and Steppenwolf disbanded in February 1972, re-forming in 1974. Remastered from the original tapes With 26 bonus tracks of rare singles and mono mixes
