Grand Funk Railroad is an American rock band which rose to prominence in the 1970s. They were formed in 1969 by Mark Farner and Don Brewer, the founder and most enduring members, and were signed to Capitol Records on the basis of their appearance in the 1969 Atlanta Pop Festival. Their popularity was swift and both their debut album On Time and second album Grand Funk achieved gold status. They went on to release several further records and, though they won no real critical acclaim, they won many fans.
The band dropped 'Railroad' from their name in 1972 as a result of protracted legal wrangles with their manager and former bandmate Terry Knight.
Then top body builders and long-time friends Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbu are featured on the cover; the band members' faces are overlaid onto their muscled bodies.
The album is from 1974.
