At Your Birthday Party
ORIGINAL 1969 LP STILL SEALED
Dunhill Records DSX-50053
*********************************************************
At Your Birthday Party is the third studio album by Steppenwolf, released in 1969 on the label ABC Dunhill Records. It was the first Steppenwolf album to feature bass player Nick St. Nicholas. Although it was less critically acclaimed than their successful first two albums, Steppenwolf and Steppenwolf the Second, it contained a few well-known hits, such as " It's Never Too Late" and " Jupiter's Child", as well as the colossal " Rock Me". Still it would be their last top ten album with their last top ten hit. Even then, though, the album showcases Steppenwolf at their peak, coming out of, but not yet completely abandoning, the psychedelia of Steppenwolf the Second and stepping into the distinctive hard rock of their later releases, but with less weight here than later, meaning it slides faster and more furiously.
The album's strange cover art supposedly depicts the charred remnants of amplifiers and equipment that had belonged to Canned Heat before a 1969 fire ripped through Canned Heat's house and rehearsal studio on Lookout Mountain Ave in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, California.
The original LP was a gatefold with a punched-out front cover; the punchout revealed a photo of the band which comprised the inner sleeve's recto.
