Steppenwolf: Sixteen Great Performances [ABC, 1975]
Comprising the same material as Sixteen Greatest Hits (1973), which added two cuts to the first side and three to the second of Steppenwolf Gold (1971), this doesn't concentrate unduly on Steppenwolf (1968) and/or Steppenwolf the Second (1968), and will probably placate the leather-clad young man whose chopper you were just so importunate as to collide with. But for yourself, stick to Steppenwolf and Steppenwolf the Second, from back when Gabriel Mekler could still force John Kay to come on like a hard-rock monster. C+
