Now if you think, "i have seen this one before" ?? Then you would be correct. The winning bidder never paid after 30 days so here it is again, thank you !!!!
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 2 HAS QUIET A BIT OF LIGHT STATIC AT THE START ON THE LONG QUIET INTRO, AND CARRYS ON FOR OVER HALF OF THE TRACK IN THE LESS LOUDER PARTS, THANK YOU !!!! 

THIS IS THE AWESOME 5th ALBUM RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 1971 FROM HIGHLY UDERRATED HARD ROCK BAND, 'GRAND FUNK RAILROAD', WHO WERE ALSO CALLED JUST, 'GRAND FUNK'. FROM FLINT IN MICHIGAN IN THE U.S.A, THEY WERE FORMED IN 1969, AND TOURED LIKE CRAZY IN THE 1970'S BUT NEVER GOT THE CRITICAL ACCLAIM THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE AT THE TIME. NOW THEIR MUSIC, A BLEND OF HARD ROCK, GARAGE ROCK AND SOUTHERN ROCK, IS NOW GETTING THE PRAISE IT SO RIGHTLY DESERVES. THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION AND THE AUDIO WILL BE DESCRIBED AS USUAL BELOW !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, AND SHIP AS USUAL . IF YOU HAVE WON ANY LP'S, AND I AM UNABLE TO SHIP I WILL KEEP THEM VERY SAFE, AND SHIP WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA SAFE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME, THANK YOU, ROSE .
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  EA SW1  853 -2G  ::  EA SW2  853 -2G .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH EARLY STAMPERS  ::  1 GG  ::  1 G .

 ON THE CAPITOL LABEL  ::  EASW-1-853 .
COVER ::  ORIGINAL IST PRESS FULLY EMBOSSED WITH NO SPLITS OR TEARS OR WRITING. THE ONLY THING IS A SMALL MARK ON THE FRONT TOP RIGHT BETWEEN THE 'U' AND 'N' IN 'FUNK. AN INTERESTING FACT IS THAT ON THE BACK THERE IS AN EMBOSSED PICTURE OF THE 'SHEA STADIUM' IN THE U.S.A, TO CELEBRATE GRAND FUNK RAILROAD BEATING THE BEATLES 'SHEA STADIUM' ATTENDANCE RECORD, BY SELLING OUT IN 72 HOURS. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE AND EVEN WITH THE SMALL MARK I WOULD STILL GRADE AS  :: EX .  
VINYL :: THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO STICKS, SKIPS OR JUMPS, HOWEVER AS MENTIONED AT THE START OF THE LISTING THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 2 DOES HAVE A BIT OF AN AUDIO ISSUE. SO REALLY THIS WILL NOT BE FOR THE PERFECTIONIST, AND REALLY IS ON THE BORDER LINE FOR ME TO LIST IT, AND ONLY DUE TO IT BEING AN AMAZING ALBUM, WELL HERE IT IS. PLEASE READ THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY, THANK YOU.  NOW VISUALLY LOOKS NICE AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF TINY COSMETIC MARKS. NOW FOR THE AUDIO DESCRIOTION, AND I WILL HAVE TO GO TRACK BY TRACK OTHERWISE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GIVE AN ALL ROUND AUDIO GRADE. SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS A FAINT TICK AT THE END .
TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACKS .
TRACK 2 :: HAS A TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START ON THE QUIET INTRO, A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE AND TWO AT THE END .
BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS.
TRACK 3 :: HAS A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .
TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACKS .
TRACK 4 :: JUST HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC IN THE RUN OUT .
SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .
TRACK 2 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START, A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE AND A FAINT TICK AND A POP AT THE END .
BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS .
TRACK 3 :: HAS SOME MODERATE STATIC ON THE LONG QUIET INTRO, AND THEN HEARD ON LESS LOUDER PARTS FOR OVER HALF THE TRACK.  NOW AS YOU CAN SEE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO GIVE AN OVER ALL AUDIO GRADE, SO I WILL SPLIT THE GRADE INTO TWO. ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 1 AND THE FIRST TWO ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX- .
TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2 I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: GOOD .
SO REALLY IT IS ONLY THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE OF ANY NOTE, AND REALLY IT IS OKAY TO LISTEN TO BUT IT PLAYS AS DESCRIBED AND WILL NOT TURN INTO ANYTHING ELSE BY THE VINYL FARRIES, OTHER THAN WHAT IS SAID IN THE DESCRIPTION. THANK YOU !!!!
LABELS :: SUPERB, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX+ .
POLYLINED INNER ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS BUT IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BUT A HOME MADE ONE FROM ANOTHER POLYLINED INNER  :: VG+EX- . 

YOU WILL LOVE THIS ALBUM IF YOU LIKE YOUR ROCK. THEY WERE SO UNDERRATED AT THE TIME BUT NOT ANY MORE, PLAYS WITH NO SERIOUS ISSUES, BUT THERE IS THAT STATIC AS MENTIONED ON THE LAST TRACK, AND PLEASE DO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, THANKS AGAIN. LOVELY ORIGINAL EMBOSSED COVER WHICH HAS NO SPLITS OR TEARS !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.  TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
