Steppenwolf 7 CD

 They Don't Get Any Better Than This!
First, to address two misconceptions in the blurb above, this was in fact the seventh release from Steppenwolf counting "Early Steppenwolf" and "Steppenwolf Live." Second, John Kay and his family did not escape from Nazi Germany... it was from Communist East Germany. Check your dates against his age. The Seven album in the band's own estimation (along with Monster) is the best work they ever did. Songs are top drawer from front to back, the playing is superb, and the production makes this recording sound contemporary. These guys ALWAYS had the goods. If you're going to own just one Steppenwolf CD, this should be it.

 Mislead by New Release Date
When this was reissued this year I ordered because I thought it was a new, remastered version. Unfortunately it was just the same version from many years ago at a lower price. Music still good but don't buy if you think it is a remastered version.

 Its not what you think!
Bought this from CD Universe when 2006 version was announced thinking it was a newly remastered version of the original CD. It's not, just a lower price version of the original CD. If you already have a copy, don't buy this one. Still great music. Hopefully a remastered version is on the way someday....

 Fantastic !!!
A real rock classic! I've seen John Kay and Steppenwolf recently, and they still have their own special sound. After all these years, Steppenwolf remains the best sound ever.

 Rock at it's finest!
Forget the 'Rolling Stone' blurb above.... they were full of it! This is one of the finest rock albums ever released, right up there with The Who "Who's Next" and "Sticky Fingers" by the Stones. Steppenwolf have never been properly credited as one of the best rock bands of all time .........if you don't believe it, play this one a few times! 'Ball Crusher' and 'Hippo Stomp' are as good as classic rock ever got!! Not a weak cut on the album!
