Grand Funk Railroad

'Survival'

Capitol, UK, 1970

SKAO 471

GRITTY SOUL ROCK opus - their thrid studio album - from this hugely popular American band. The music is pitched in the direction of funky white- man rock with roots in the sixties soul shuffle that spawned other Michigan reprobates such as Ted Nugent and Bob Seger. You know the score; heavy on the groove, loads of Hammond and pummeling drums. Proto metal sums it all up quite nicely. Check out the tracks 'She's A Good Man's Brother', 'Mean Mistreater' and their brilliant 'I'm Your Captain' for further proof.

Man of the match? Clearly that honour must go to vocalist and guitarist Mark Farner. What an amazing voice.

Beautiful copy this one - hard to find these days and never in shrink wrap!

Pressing: Capitol, USA, 1970

Vinyl: Clean condition with a few light spindle marks and micro scuffs - mainly from sliding in and out of the inner sleeve - common to all US pressings of this era. Grades as Ex+

Cover: Again, almost no signs of use. Issued in a beautifully illustrated gatefold cover - still in shrink wrap! Sharp corners, no dings, no bends, no split seams and no creases. Spine is perfectly square, stiff, straight and uncrushed. Beautiful and impossible to find like this after 44 years. Looks like it walked out of the factory yesterday. Grades as MINT-!

Inserts: None
