24 bit remastered second album from 1969 includes 2 bonus cuts. Review: The Greatest Hard Rock Album of All Time. - RED ALBUM was THE GRAND FUNK RAILROAD in all their raw, nasty, sexual, high energy, Live sounding Power Trio madness. This is a Great second Album surpassing there great debut On Time, and helps rank GFR with the Great's of the 70s like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. This album was recorded live and the only overdubs are putting some rhythm guitar where the leads are (al of GFRs Terry Knight Produced were done the same way, as fast as possible and No Frills). Like On Time its a sledge hammer album, but even heavier with the smash songs that GFR used live such as In Need, Inside Looking Out and Paranoid. Red Album which is what we GFR fanatics call Grand Funk, also has the radio friendly songs Mr. Limousine Driver, Please Don't worry, and High Falottin Women. As well as the Sledge hammer rocker Got This Thing On The Move. This was what GFR was all about, Mel Schacher Playing his BOOMING BASS behind the note. Don Brewer Playing his POUNDING DRUMS ahead of the Note and Mark Farner playing his wild rhythms and screeching leads on GUITAR anywhere; before, after, or in the middle of the note. Or to be more accurate Don playing at the beginning of the note, Mel playing at the end of the note and Mark going wherever he wants with his wild rhythms. This sound made GFR something unique and special and gave them a driven sound that made you feel like your moving. Don and Mark do great Harmonies and both are excellent lead singers as well. Red Album is a special album every hard rock fan should have in there collection. GFRs sound can't be faked or copied, its something natural to the three musicians. This album along with Live, On Time, and Closer To Home, captured millions of fans for GFR who still reminisce about these albums to this day. This edition of RED ALBUM the CD is 24 Bit remastered with New liner Notes, Bonus Tracks, and photos. The Bonus tracks are a demo version of Nothing is the same and an extended version of Mr. Limousine Driver and there very cool. This is the first Time Capitol has released Red Album on CD in the USA and is a must have CD for every GFR fan and Every fan of Hard Rock. Is there someone standing Just out side your door? RickDC :) Review: Grand Funk Railroad - The Remasters - Having owned all the Grand Funk Railroad albums from "On Time" through "We're An American Band" on every media available (LP,8 track, cassette and CD)and spending a lot of money on Japanese Imports re-issues and the like I have come to the conclusion (after comparison side by side) That the 2002 Remasters are by far the best sounding of the lot (barring a brand new original album). Finally Mel Schacher's bass is out front with the rest of the band instead of muffled in the mix. Yes they are a little hot, but hey we are talking about Grand Funk Railroad it was meant to be hot! I mean after all the original albums said "Too Be Played Loud" So ditch all the other crap and buy the 2002 Remasters on Capitol, you won't regret it !!! Oh and why only "On Time - We're An American Band" the boys (probably under pressure from the record label) started recording junk. Yeah there are some good songs on their later albums, but c'mon "The Locomotion" sucked. "Some Kind Of Wonderful" was a good cover but still the music was suffering.

Grand Funk Railroad - The Remasters
Having owned all the Grand Funk Railroad albums from "On Time" through "We're An American Band" on every media available (LP,8 track, cassette and CD)and spending a lot of money on Japanese Imports re-issues and the like I have come to the conclusion (after comparison side by side) That the 2002 Remasters are by far the best sounding of the lot (barring a brand new original album). Finally Mel Schacher's bass is out front with the rest of the band instead of muffled in the mix. Yes they are a little hot, but hey we are talking about Grand Funk Railroad it was meant to be hot!

Pure energy! no doubt, one of the best rock albums ever!
If you love Cream and Jimi Hendrix you would love this one, this album is a hidden gem, highly underrated, Grand Funk was famous for "we are an american band" or even for "locomotion" that is Grand Funk going pop, this Grand Funk is the perfect mixture within blues and rock, The highest peak of Grand Funk, without any doubt "Inside looking out" written by the Animals here performed by Grand Funk is one of the best rock songs ever, is pure energy, I prefer this version over the original, outstanding Mark Farmer vocals, incredible guitar, the harmonica only improve the energy of this song. "In need" is my second favorite song from this album, "Paranoid", "High falootin woman", "Got this thing on the move" this album is incredible, best Grand Funk release, "On time" has a similar mood, but this one is simply outstanding, this version includes "Nothing is the same", fine song.

孤独の叫び、シングルEP盤を買って聴きまくった青春時代が蘇る！ ギターテクなんてクソ喰らえ！ ロックは気合いとノリだ！ それを思い出させてくれる、グランドファンクです。
