30 years ago, I bought this record......I was 16.....I just bought the CD and it is more magnificent than ever. The words came flooding back to my memory, the music is so sexy, it's for every 46 year old lady to enjoy and reminice about those days.I can really appreciate the blues-influence in the songs. I love it!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Surprising winner served up by John Kay, July 3, 2000

If you can find the album version, buy it at any cost. The "Dickmobile" on the inside cover has got to be the greatest piece of rock art ever placed in an album. The music here isn't typical Steppenwolf because the theme of this is; women. This is a vastly under-rated effort. John Kay proved here that he can do other things besides heavy metal biker songs, although some numbers fall right into that slot like "Ride with Me" "Jaded Strumpet" is another personal favorite with a fresh sound to it. As usual, John Kay's biting political commentaries hit like a sledgehammer and there is outright humor too in "Tenderness". This is one of Steppenwolf's best albums.

4.0 out of 5 stars Steppenwolf's finest hour?, December 14, 2000

This review is from: For Ladies Only (Audio CD)

I bought the original LP of this over 25 years ago (still have it!) and I've always thought this was the album that was the most consistently satisfying from start-to-finish, track-to-track than any other 'Wolf album. Consequently, I also think it's the most under-rated album in their catalog. "For Ladies Only" goes beyond the raucousness of the Born to Be Wild/Magic Carpet Ride/biker period and delivers a more mature-sounding, tighter band with more interesting things to say than "Sookie Sookie". The songwriting is what really shines on this concept album dedicated to the better half of the world and the tracks flow well back-to-back as a good concept album should. But, it still manages to rock out as well as any of their prior, bluesier albums. This was Steppenwolf's last great album with the original group line-up. Best tracks include the title cut, "Sparkle Eyes", "I'm Asking", "Ride With Me", "Tenderness" and the instrumental, "Black Pit". If you like Steppenwolf and you've only got one of their greatest hits collections, you need to get this, as well as Steppenwolf 7.
