This was the first album I ever owned, when I got it in 1972. It has been my favorite ever since. After wearing out the album and a subsequent cassette, I am sure glad to get it on CD. John Kay and Goldie McJohn are at their best in Ballcrusher. Foggy Mental Breakdown, Hippo Stomp, Earsplittenloudenboomer, several others not available on the “Greatest Hits” albums, along with the classic Snow Blind Friend make this a MUST HAVE for the classic Steppenwolf fan.
