Early Steppenwolf is a unique archival live release of a 1967 show at a time when Steppenwolf only had three albums actually released. What’s surprising about this is that there’s a good deal of non-LP tracks and that the actual recording is amazingly solid. Throw in the fact that this entire second side of the album is made up of an early developing, sort of weird, yet jammy version of “The Pusher” and hell yes, this record is where it’s at.
1969 US pressing on ABC Records/Dunhill and it sounds fantastic. I have a vague memory of picking this up back in the 1980s and have been mostly just sitting on it since. Been so long since I’ve played it it feels like a new album to me. It’s also insanely clean.
