    Dirk Steffens Appreciation Thread

    Thought i'd create a thread for brilliant German guitarist/engineer/producer Dirk Steffens. Most known in prog circles for his passionate involvement in Birth Control's 1973 album Rebirth. Previously in the groups The Beathovens, and Pennywonder. After BC, he released a couple of solo albums, The Seventh Step in '76, and Tollhouse in '78. IMO The Seventh Step is the greatest thing he ever did, one of the most infectious and under-rated heavy rock albums of the whole seventies decade.
    Never heard the Pennywonder single from '71, anyone have?
    Mr. Steffens then became a noted engineer/producer in the Germany area, most importantly heavy metal groups like Accept, Helloween, Sinner, etc.
    There is no info on him at all after the mid-1990s-probably retired.
    Any other fans of Dirk on PE?
