ALL MINT in laminated gatefold....

RARE ...old German-only near 40 year old TWO-LP pressing of the dramatic first TWO Grand Funk Railroad albums, housed in back to back front album designs attached to each other as a gatefold. These are powerhouse hardrock works that thrust the band into ultimum stardom....

LP #1

The very first GRAND FUNK RAILROAD and they turned a lot of heads 42 years ago with an exciting intense & tight hardrock sound, full of high wire energy, a powerful guitar trio that flashed to fame in a very short time....Okay, so it ain't exactly soft, I'll give you that. Guitarist Mark Farner does emphasize his fuzz and distortion and plays some mean riffs throughout; bassist Mel Schacher lays on some particularly fat bass (not too fat, though) and Don Brewer bashes and crashes upon everything within sight with a heavy emphasis on the cymbals.

ON TIME, was one of the first albums to be termed "heavy metal." Sample a young and hungry Grand Funk, with highlights including "Anybody's Answer," "Into the Sun," "Time Machine," and "Are You Ready?"

Grand Funk Railroad's 1969 debut is a wild affair. The exuberant energy and power-trio theatrics that would fuel their 1970s hits are in place. "Are You Ready" is an exuberant rocker built on one of Mel Schacher's trademark walking basslines and "Into the Sun" is a clever tune that starts as a mellow mid-tempo jam before blossoming into a stomping rocker with a funked-up guitar riff. Both of these sturdy tunes appropriately became mainstays of Grand Funk Railroad's live show for many years to come. "Time Machine" is another highlight, a bluesy shuffle built on Mark Farner's wailing vocals and a catchy, stuttered guitar riff.

1) Are You Ready

2) Anybody's Answer

3) Time Machine

4) High On A Horse

5) T.N.U.C.

6) Into The Sun

7) Heartbreaker

8) Call Yourself A Man

9) Can't Be Too Long

10) Ups And Downs.

LP #2 

The mighty 1969 2nd GRAND FUNK RAILROAD album was one of the TOP most popular Lp's in the late 60's, a BIG party favorite -- most first pressings are worn out or in private collections, here's a great condition copy ready for a safe home!

CONDITION: The cover: Laminated German production gatefold in great collection worthy "EX" (excellent) with very little & careful previous use over the many years ...we figure this issue is 35 years old or more ... No split seams, no alarming problems, collection keeper.

The vinyl: both records = all 4 sides are highly shiny and clear, rated TOP M- look and play beautiful ... all 4 Capitol labels are clean

keeper!

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
