Remastered From The Original Dunhill\/Abc Master Tapes. Steppenwolf was formed in 1967 in LA 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 with producer Gabriel Mekler they recorded their self-titled debut album. The band were propelled to success with their classic single 'Born To Be Wild' (a #2 hit in the USA) and became even wider known when the track was featured, along with their version of 'The Pusher' in the classic 1969 counterculture film Easy Rider. 'The Second' was released in October '68 and featured the hit single 'Magic Carpet Ride' (another US #2 hit). In March '69 'At Your Birthday Party' was released to further success and was their first record to feature Nick St Nicholas on bass and their last to feature Michael Monarch. The July 1969 release 'Early Steppenwolf' featured live recordings made at The Matrix in San Francisco in May 1967 and featured a 20-minute version of 'The Pusher'. The band's next studio album, 'Monster', was issued in November 1969 and dealt with America's involvement in the Vietnam War. 1970 saw the band release two albums, the double LP 'Steppenwolf Live' and 'Steppenwolf 7'. By the release of the latter the band's popularity began to wain slightly, although they would retain a large and loyal fan base. Their November 1971 album 'For Ladies Only' was their last for Dunhill\/ABC and Steppenwolf disbanded in February 1972 only to reform in 1974.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSookie Sookie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Everybody's Next One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Berry Rides Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hootchie Kootchie Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Born to Be Wild\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Your Wall's Too High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Desperation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Pusher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Girl I Knew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take What You Need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Ostrich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sookie Sookie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Born to Be Wild\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Everybody's Next One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take What You Need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Girl I Knew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Ostrich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Pusher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Berry Rides Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Faster Than the Speed of Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tighten Up Your Wig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e None of Your Doing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spiritual Fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Step on the Grass Sam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Magic Carpet Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Disappointment Number (Unknown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lost and Found By Trial and Error\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hodge Podge Strained Through a Leslie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Resurrection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reflections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Magic Carpet Ride (Mono Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spiritual Fantasy (Mono Single Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chicken Wolf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lovely Meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Round and Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's Never Too Late\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sleeping Dreaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jupiter Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She'll Be Better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cat Killer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rock Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e God Fearing Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mango Juice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Happy Birthday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rock Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jupiter Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 1It's Never Too Late 17 Happy Birthday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Power Play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Howlin' for My Baby 3 Goin' Upstairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Corina Corina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tighten Up Your Wig 6 the Pusher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50401060913426,"sku":"5013929477780","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4002928-2738579.jpg?v=1729120380","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/steppenwolf-magic-carpet-ride-the-dunhill-abc-years-1967-1971-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
