Most of us were introduced to this paradigm of gusty, semi-psychedelic rock via AM radio (or a certain hit road movie about two biker\/hippies...), so few of us listened to 'Born To Be Wild' or 'Magic Carpet Ride' over good sound systems. But damn, the sound is solid, visceral, raunchy and detailed. John Kay's snarl, a wall of guitars, those much-loved pedal effects and 11 sure-fire classics... This reissue is truly a fitting tribute to keyboardist Goldy McJohn, who passed away last August.\" — Sound Quality: 85% — Ken Kessler,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHi Fi News\u003c\/em\u003e, April 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGet your motor runnin' baby — Steppenwolf's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eGold: Their Great Hits\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etook its title literally.
