Steppenwolf was formed in LA in 1967 by John Kay (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Goldy McJohn (organ, piano) and Jerry Edmonton (drums), who were previously members of the Canadian band The Sparrows. They were joined by Michael Monarch (lead guitar) and Rushton Moreve (bass). The band signed with Dunhill / ABC Records and had a huge success in 1968 with their classic single "Born To Be Wild", which became even more famous when the title played a major role in the 1969 counterculture classic "Easy Rider".
In the following four years, the band released eight albums and enjoyed great success. In February 1972, Steppenwolf disbanded and John Kay recorded a solo album, but by '74 the band was back and recorded three more albums for Epic over the next three years.
Following "Magic Carpet Ride," Esoteric's acclaimed box set covering the first era of Steppenwolf's career, "The Epic Years 1974-1976" collects all of those albums plus two rare bonus tracks. The set also includes an illustrated booklet with a new essay by Steppenwolf connoisseur Jim Christopulos.

Steppenwolf
Steppenwolf's fifth album, 'Monster,' was harshly critical of the first year of the Nixon administration. When it was released in 1969, the band, whose name was inspired by a Herman Hesse novel, was already a major musical force with two gold albums and three Top 10 singles to its credit
The founder/leader of Steppenwolf was John Kay, who also handled the group's vocals. He was joined by Michael Monarch (guitar), Rushton Moreve (bass), Jerry Edmonton (drums) and Goldy McJohn (keyboards). Their first eponymous album included Born To Be Wild, a song that is enshrined in both the Rock and Roll and Grammy Halls of Fame, as well as Hoyt Axton's [see Disc 11] The Pusher. Both numbers were prominently featured on the 'Easy Rider' soundtrack.
'Monster's' title track depicts America as "a monster on the loose" whose leaders "don't pay it no mind." It refers to the fighting in Vietnam as "a war over there…no matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost." Draft Resister commends the men "who refuse to follow traitors to humanity," and harks back to Dylan's Masters Of Warin the couplet, "Heed the threat and awesome power of the mighty Pentagon/Which is wasting precious millions on the toys of Washington."
Various incarnation of Steppenwolf continued playing and recording heavy metal music through the mid-'70s. Kay, with a new backing band, charted an album in 1987. The group now awaits a call from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
