GRAND FUNK (Railroad) We’re an American Band [remastered audio]
We’re An American Band is the seventh studio album by American hard rock band Grand Funk Railroad, credited as Grand Funk. The album was released by Capitol Records on July 15, 1973 (see 1973 in music) and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America a little over a month after its release.[1] Two singles were released from the album. The first single, “We’re an American Band“, was released on July 2, 1973 and the second, “Walk Like a Man“, was released on October 29, 1973.[2]
The album cover was originally covered in gold-colored foil on the outside, and the initial run of pressings were pressed in clear, dark-yellow vinyl. The album has been reissued many times and is currently available in the Compact Disc format. A Quadraphonic mix of the album was available in the Quadraphonic 8-Track cartridge format.
We’re an American Band was the group’s first collaboration with producer/engineer Todd Rundgren. Rundgren and the band recorded the album at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida on June 13--15, 1973. Rundgren would go on to produce the band’s next album, Shinin’ On, before the band switched to Jimmy Lenner.
The album’s original issue, as well as of the “We’re an American Band“ single, was on translucent yellow vinyl, symbolic of a “Gold record.“ The album labels, above the side numbers, instructed listeners to play “at full volume.“ It included four stickers (two blue, and two red) with the Grand Funk “Pointing Finger“ logo. Emphasizing the shortening of the group’s name, largely for legal reasons, the word “Railroad“ does not appear anywhere on the album sleeve, liner, or vinyl record.
