PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

STONE MINT ~ LOOKS and PLAYS PERFECT!

     STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE

Original 1969 first pressing vinyl on the scarce lime green Capitol label that was only in print some 18 months ...finding a clean copy of this album is harder than one might think with it's dark cover that usually is found worn & wasted = here, a TOP survivor, a really special collectible display worthy item.... 

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.
