Magic Carpet Ride : The Dunhill ABC Years 1967-1971 Coffret

Description

Steppenwolf was formed in 1967 in Los Angeles by John Kay (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Goldy McJohn (organ, piano), and Jerry Edmonton (drums), who were previously members of the Canadian group The Sparrows. They were joined by Michael Monarch (lead guitar) and Rushton Moreve (bass). The band signed with Dunhill/ABC the same year and, with producer Gabriel Mekler, they recorded their first self-titled album.
The band was propelled to success with their classic single 'Born To Be Wild' (a #2 hit in the United States) and became even more well-known when the song was featured, along with their version of 'The Pusher', in the classic counterculture film Easy Rider from 1969.
'The Second' was released in October 1968 and included the hit single 'Magic Carpet Ride' (another #2 American hit). In March 1969, "At Your Birthday Party" was released with a new hit and was their first record with Nick St Nicholas on bass and the last with Michael Monarch. The July 1969 release "Early Steppenwolf" featured live recordings made at The Matrix in San Francisco in May 1967 and included a 20-minute version of "The Pusher". The band's next studio album, "Monster", was released in November 1969 and deals with America's involvement in the Vietnam War. 1970 saw the band release two albums, the double LP "Steppenwolf Live" and "Steppenwolf 7". Upon the release of the latter, the band's popularity began to slightly decline, although they would maintain a significant 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.
