| Disappointing release of a fantastic 33 1/3 rpm album. |
| Okay, so I`m an old guy with a too long memory. But how anyone can think this is a reasonable CD when it replaces Snowblind Friend and Magic Carpet Ride (both of which were on the orginal 33 1/3 album and are commonly put on their Best Of ... albums) with the likes of The Ostrich and Take What You Need - is beyond my comprehension. Forget about this CD, and buy one of their Best Of Steppenwolf selections. The long play album with the same cover art was a great album. (Note to people who think I have a poor memory. I still own the 33 1/3 record. The list of songs is as I state.) |

| Breaking the walls! |
Try to imagine the huge impression produced by this original band in the late Sixties with such innovative and original musical proposals.
The Pusher and Born to be wild were an authentic explossion of newness, filled of inspiration. In this sense I think this was the most solid and auspicious debut of a rock band until that date.
May be the exception would come a few years later with the First Album of Led Zepellin.
So the historical importance of this album surmounts by far, any other adjective. Go for this album and disclover the First Opus of that super band. |

| Rusty`s memory is not long, but...rusty |
| To refute Mr. Rusty Humphrey`s review: Snowblind Friend originally appeared on Steppenwolf 7, and Magic Carpet Ride on Steppenwolf the Second. Check them out too! And, the Ostrich is a great tune also. |
