Wolf City

 ( Amon Düül Ii Albums ) 

Wolf City is the fifth studio album released by the Germany rock band Amon Düül II.

Like its predecessor, Carnival in Babylon, Wolf City is a more conventional recording than the band's earlier albums, with shorter track times and more straightforward song structures. This was likely due to the band's increasing commercial popularity, both at home and in the United Kingdom. Despite this, some of the album's tracks, such as "Jail-House-Frog" and "Deutsch Nepal", are still overtly experimental.

The US LP has the sides reversed. Side one begins with "Wolf City" and side two with "Surrounded by the Stars". (However, the covers show the correct track order.)
