''At Your Birthday Party'' is the third studio album by Steppenwolf, released in 1969 (see 1969 in music) on the label ABC Dunhill Records. It was the first Steppenwolf album to feature bass player Nick St. Nicholas. Although it was less critically acclaimed than their successful first two albums, ''Steppenwolf'' and ''Steppenwolf the Second'', it contained a few well-known hits, such as "It's Never Too Late" and "Jupiter's Child", as well as the colossal "Rock Me". Still it would be their last top ten album with their last top ten hit. Even then, though, the album showcases Steppenwolf at their peak, coming out of, but not yet completely abandoning, the psychedelia of ''Steppenwolf the Second'' and stepping into the distinctive hard rock of their later releases, but with less weight here than later, meaning it slides faster and more furiously. - Wikipedia
