CLEAN VINYL 1969 Collectible
So hard to find CLEAN Original 1969 first pressing vinyl of the great 4th album by Steppenwolf...in thick gatefold cover....
"MONSTER" by Californian rockers extraordinaire Steppenwolf, were of course led by charismatic lead singer John Kay, who also penned most of their material, which is a great example of how rock music became a most potent weapon during the social / political upheaval in the US at the time of its release. Most of the songs on this album are full of bitterness and sarcasm and bear strong commentary on the American political system and of course its involvement in the then current, ongoing war. Kay, as most rockers at the time, was a representative of the rebellious young generation, which looked upon politicians with disgust and despise, letting his opinion to be heard. Considering Rock's immense popularity at the time, performers had a wide audience and therefore were widely influential, which was a major factor in their struggle for change. Of course in retrospect we all know that governments remained corrupt and often immoral, but the struggle brought these issues to the awareness of an entire generation. As to the music, it is as good as the other earlier Steppenwolf material at the time...Monster/Suicide/America" starts it off with what is suggested in the title - political criticism (largely Vietnam, of course) juxtaposed with pleasant, sometimes heavy and melodic melodies. Toward the end, it turns into something downright anthemic, complete with female co-vocals and sitar mixed in.
The rest of the album maintains the solid style of early Steppenwolf, sometimes in the vein of early Iron Butterfly, but with a little more cross-cultural awareness. For the generation that never heard this music at the time it was created, here is an opportunity to plunge into history and enjoy it while doing it.
