John Kay & Steppenwolf: Wolftracks
Nautilus SuperDisc LP
I was rummaging around the shelf with my 80s vintage audiophile LPs and came across this, which hasn't seen the light of day for years (decades?). I am sure I picked it up during the great vinyl purge of the late 80s when audiophile albums could be had for $2 or $3 as stores dump their vinyl stock to make room for the new "perfect sound forever" discs.
Well I was certainly surprised when the diamond hit the vinyl. This is not the hard charging rock I expected from a Steppenwolf album. It sounds more like some Blood Sweat and Tears pop, without the horns. Not that it is all that bad, it is just nowhere near what I expected.
