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 \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSookie Sookie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverybody's Next One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBerry Rides Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHootchie Kootchie Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorn to Be Wild\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Wall's Too High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesperation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pusher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Girl I Knew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake What You Need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ostrich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSookie Sookie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorn to Be Wild\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverybody's Next One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake What You Need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Girl I Knew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ostrich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pusher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBerry Rides Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaster Than the Speed of Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTighten Up Your Wig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNone of Your Doing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiritual Fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Step on the Grass Sam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagic Carpet Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisappointment Number (Unknown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost and Found By Trial and Error\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHodge, Podge, Strained Through a Leslie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResurrection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagic Carpet Ride (Mono Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiritual Fantasy (Mono Single Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken Wolf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLovely Meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound and Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Never Too Late\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeping Dreaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJupiter Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe'll Be Better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCat Killer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod Fearing Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMango Juice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHappy Birthday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJupiter Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1It's Never Too Late 17 Happy Birthday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHowlin' for My Baby 3 Goin' Upstairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorina, Corina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTighten Up Your Wig 6 the Pusher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013929477780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Esoteric\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.17.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59571938230353,"sku":"334378","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4002928-2738579.jpg?v=1779913049","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/steppenwolf-magic-carpet-ride-the-dunhill-abc-years-1967-71-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
