STEPPENWOLF S/T 200 GRAM AUDIOPHILE PRESSING
Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio
200-gram pressing by Quality Record Pressings; plating by Gary Salstrom
Tip-on jacket printed on metallic foil stock to match the original
Classic 1968 debut album features "Born To Be Wild" and "The Pusher"
Steppenwolf have become synonymous with their huge Harley ridin'-hit, "Born to be Wild", although in reality, their success was far broader, with sales totaling more than 25 million units worldwide. Now their eponymous debut album originally released in 1968 is back and stunning audiophiles — courtesy of Analogue Productions and Quality Record Pressings!
The original album cover was something amazingly spectacular, done with a silver foil, now painstakingly recreated for this 200-gram QRP pressing. And the LP itself? Our state-of-the-art pressing plant's LPs draw consistent critical raves for their sonic reproduction and incredible super-silent backgrounds. Of course the best LPs start with the best mastering, and there's none better than the maestro on this record, engineer Kevin Gray!
Their history is littered with a succession of band members, substance abuse issues and several break-ups and reformations, but Steppenwolf endures.
Steppenwolf started life in Canada in the early '60s as The Sparrows, but did not find fame until they had changed their name and released their rockin' album debut in 1968. When two tracks, "Born to be Wild" and "The Pusher", were used in the film "Easy Rider," the success of the album was assured. It marked the first of five consecutive gold certified albums but after the release of For Ladies Only in 1971, the band split.
They were back together by 1974 and started to release albums again, beginning with 1974's Slow Flux; but their heyday was past, and this album was to contain their last Top 40 hit, "Straight Shootin' Woman." They tried to split after 1975's Hour of the Wolf but contractual commitments to the record label made them stick it out for 1976's Skullduggery. Another split followed, and yet another reformation followed that. The band's last album of new material was Summerdaze released in 1997.

Steppenwolf Live 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LIMITED EDITION Import 2LP SET
180g Audiophile Vinyl! Includes the Classic Hits "Born To Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride!"In 1970 Steppenwolf released their Live LP, consisting mostly of songs played live on the tour to support their preceding album Monster. Apart from songs off that album, the live record of course also features the group's best known hit "Born To Be Wild" (the biker anthem known from the 1969 Easy Rider movie). Other big hits on the double album are "The Pusher" and "Magic Carpet Ride".
Formed in 1967 in Los Angeles, the band's music could be described as 'Heavy Metal R & B', while their name was inspired by Hermann Hesse's novel of the same name. Led by German immigrant John Kay, these psychedelic Blues rockers will without a doubt be remembered forever for one of the best rock anthems of all time.
"The guitars of John Kay and Larry Byrom interweave beautifully, and there isn't much excess, even allowing for the presence of a ten-minute version of "Monster."" -Bruce Eder, allmusic

4. Hey, Lawdy Mama JOHN KAY & THE SPARROW - COLLECTORS ITEMS -
Steppenwolf leader/founder John Kay is perhaps the most overlooked early contributor to the musical style that would become heavy metal and hard rock. Kay was the first rocker to use the phrase heavy metal in a song, in one of metal's first great anthems: Steppenwolf's 1968 classic "Born to Be Wild." Born Joachim Fritz Krauledat on April 12, 1944, in the section of Germany that was once known as East Prussia, it was the American rock & roll that he heard on U.S. Armed Forces radio after his family moved to East Germany that fueled his interest in music. After relocating to Toronto, Canada, in 1958, Kay became even more transfixed by rock & roll -- leading to Kay picking up the guitar, writing songs, and playing in local bands.
In the '60s, Kay founded the Sparrow, a rock outfit who played both Canada and the U.S., but received little attention. The group had fallen apart by 1967, but with a new, harder-edged style of rock beginning to conquer the charts and airwaves (Cream, Jimi Hendrix, and the Yardbirds), Kay decided to pursue this direction with his next band, Steppenwolf (titled after Hermann Hesse's novel of the same name).
