GRAND FUNK RAILROAD E Pluribus Funk (Capitol SW-853) RARE US 1st Pressing MINT-
RARE US first pressing of Grand Funk Railroad`s fifth album "E Pluribus Funk" on Capitol Records (November 1971).
"You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad. And you cannot talk about Grand Funk without talking about the hate: how critics pissed on them from an arrogant height. I saw Grand Funk very early on, playing for flies in Philadelphia in December 1969, and I heard in their panzer-trio brio what the snobs did not.
Born in Flint, Michigan, of the same local, white-R&B; lineage as Bob Seger and Mitch Ryder, singer-guitarist Mark Farner, drummer Don Brewer and bassist Mel Schacher were not cheap Cream but a no-frills, hippie-era garage band; factory-town peaceniks who rocked like warlords." - David Fricke, Rolling Stone (April 2003).
GRADING:
