It's hard to believe that a band
who were the first US rock band
to have 10 platinum discs in a
row, should lay in the virtual
shadows of notable greats such
as Zeppelin.
Blue-collar America adored their
no-nonsense, loud rock'n'roll but
Grand Funk (Railroad) bore the
brunt of critic's jibes for most of
their career.
Get Yer Vinyl Out takes you to
New York, Ohio and Tokyo for a
selection of their Greatest Hits
performed live on stage. Superb,
remastered original broadcasts w'
background liners and timeline
photos.
Pressed on 180g Eco mixed vinyl,
each with randomly mixed colour
compound, housed in a deluxe
gatefold sleeve.
It's hard to believe that a band who once sold-out New York's Shea Stadium faster than The Beatles, and were the first US rock band to
have 10 platinum discs in a row, should lay in the virtual shadows of notable greats such as Sabbath or Zeppelin. Blue-collar America
adored their no-nonsense, loud rock'n'roll but Grand Funk (Railroad) bore the brunt of critic's jibes for most of their career. Eventual splits
and reformations plagued the band who finally bowed out in 1983, but they survive as one of America's greatest rock bands whose
legendary performing power has come to symbolise their revered legacy.
Get Yer Vinyl Out takes you to New York, Ohio and beyond for a selection of their Greatest Hits performed live on stage. Superb,
professionally remastered original broadcasts with background liners and timeline photos.
