NEWSAGENT'S DESCRIPTION
This listing is for an original 1969 U.S. promotional Monarch pressing of At Your Birthday Party, the fourth studio album by hard rock band Steppenwolf, released by Dunhill Records / ABC Records (DSX-50053).
Arriving at the height of the band's success following Born to Be Wild and Magic Carpet Ride, the album introduced the hit single "Rock Me," which became another Top 10 success. It captures Steppenwolf during one of the strongest periods of its classic lineup and helped solidify the band's reputation as an early force in hard rock.
This rare promotional edition was pressed by Monarch Record Mfg. Co. and distributed to radio stations and industry professionals ahead of its commercial release. It is housed in the original gatefold jacket, includes its original paper inner sleeve, and has been play-tested and ultrasonically cleaned.
