In
1984 John Kay spent the fifth year of rebuilding Steppenwolf after
some legal battles concerning former band members using the name and
playing bad shows. The Band then consisted of John Kay (voc, g), Michael
Palmer (g, voc), Gary Link (b, voc), Michael Wilk (keyb, programming)
and Stephen Palmer (dr).
This
line-up recorded an album in 1983 which was yet to be released outside
Canada where it was out entitled "Paradox" on the "Attic"
label. It was produced by Richard Podolor and engineered by Bill Cooper
at the American Recording Studio in Los Angeles, with whom and where
the successful Steppenwolf and John Kay Solo albums were created in
the late sixties and early seventies. As a result, this record has
the full, warm sound for which Bill and Richard as well as the studio
are renowned. Ironically this proved to be the last recording done
at the original "American" before the studio was demolished
to make room for urban growth.
The
plan was to have some more British dates around the Festival together
with the release of “Paradox”. For unknown reasons only
the festival date was realized. The line-up of the Band changed with
the year 1985 and things turned out better in commercial matters each
year. “Paradox” was finally released as CD on CMC Records
in Europe in 1998. The 1984 line-up of the band once reunited for
a fanfare held in Nashville, TN, in 2002.
