Product Description Special Deluxe Collector's Edition / Fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / Classic Early Seventies hard rock / Contains Rule In The Book , Lil' Bit and Rude Attitude / 12 page full colour booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork and new interview. When it comes to earthy early seventies ball-busting hard rock then look no further than Stepson. Based in Los Angeles amongst a backdrop of twee singer songwriters and west coast folk rock nonsense, Stepson must have looked and sounded about as out of place as Adele fronting Black Sabbath. If its power chords and rampaging riffs that float your boat then make sure you brace yourself for the perfect storm. Formed in 1971, this crushing quartet was put together by veterans of the LA scene looking to combine the MC5's wildcard attack with the blues power of Humble Pie. Bizarrely guitarist Joey Newman had been a member of the Osmonds - he contributed to their hard rock showstopper Crazy Horses - before surrendering his soul to Stepson with enough fire cracker riffage to level a small town. Issued in 1974, on the ABC label, the album and band, despite being guided by Leslie West and Mountain's management, sank without trace. With zero marketing and limited live shows outside of Los Angeles it was easy to see why the record fell short of expectations. Despite the disappointment, Stepson remains a bonafide hard rock nugget, and one of the most impressive obscurities of the era. We recommend you listen with a well charged defibrillator and a paramedic close at hand. Track listing: Rule In The Book; Lil' Bit ; Rude Attitude; It's My Life; I Apologize; Suffer; Back To 'Bama; Man I'm A Fool; Turnpike (Vocal 'Lucky Boy'); Burnin' Hurt

Commenter previously before me simply does not "Get It". You have to be into the early 70's Biker Hard Rock "Crud On The Basement Walls" sounding ROCK to appreciate how GREAT this record is. Outrageous (for its time especially) totally IN YOUR FACE and a giant FU to radio audiences. I have probably heard 100.000 records my life, but the closet thing to the Guitar sound on this is Ron Asheton on The Stooges' 1st LP (believe me not many record get THAT kind of praise from me). A few members of this group were in Don Galluci's 60's band "Don & The Goodtimers then later in the group "Touch", so... ???) ok i could go on, but if this rant hasn't convinced you then nothing will. ROCK OR DIE!
