'Footstompin' Music' leads off & this album-their second Top Ten release of 1971-never lets up. 24-bit digitally remastered reissue with four previously unreleased live bonus tracks, 'I'm Your Captain/Closer To Home', 'Hooked On Love', 'Get It Together' (recorded in Dayton, OH 4/27/71) & 'Mark Say's Alright' (recorded in Detroit, MI 4/29/71). Capitol.

Grand Funk Railroad: Mark Farner (vocals, guitar, harmonica, organ); Don Brewer (vocals, drums, percussion); Mel Schacher (bass).
Recorded at Cleveland Recording Company Studios, Cleveland, Ohio. Originally released on Capitol (853). Includes liner notes by Steve Roeser.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Grand Funk Railroad took longer than usual to make their fifth album, Survival, in early 1971, but when they came to make their sixth, E Pluribus Funk, that September, they spent less than a week at the effort. The rush shows. The album, made by a band by now popular enough to sell out Shea Stadium (depicted on the back of the album, its cover designed to look like a silver coin), consisted of a series of simple rock tunes with lyrics devoted to the joys of music itself ("Footstompin' Music"), social concerns generically expressed ("People, Let's Stop the War," "Save the Land"), and claims of romantic betrayal ("Upsetter," "No Lies"). Lead singer Mark Farner wailed in his limited tenor, joined in unison by drummer Don Brewer, and the rhythm section played in plodding lockstep. Farner added guitar and organ parts that emphasized the simplicity and repetitiveness of the musical patterns. "Loneliness," the concluding track, made a failed attempt at grandeur by adding a symphony orchestra. Six albums in, Grand Funk were still primarily a live band, able to achieve intensity, but with little sense of the varying dynamics and musical textures that might make a studio album interesting to listen to beyond being a souvenir of their live show. ~ William Ruhlmann
The track "Footstompin' Music" let it be known that this was a much heavier Grand Funk than before (if that was possible) with organ, bass and drums all locked into a slamming groove. The rest of the album went on to show Grand Funk's growing political consciousness with "People Let's Stop The War" and also includes another concert favorite, "Loneliness." ~ James Chrispell
Grand Funk's fifth album overall, 1971's E PLURIBUS FUNK, remains its most politically charged release. The trio also incorporated what were previously uncharted territories for a hard rock band on the song "Loneliness," which uses an orchestra to great effect. Both "People Let's Stop the War" (concerning the Vietnam war) and "Save the Land," mixed politics and rock, proving that the band could shed its party hearty image and get serious when it needed to.

5 stars Grand Funk at full volume:
So my wife goes shopping and while she’s out I put on this new E Pluribus Funk edition on full volume. There are four new live tracks, recorded in Dayton Ohio and Detroit, Michigan, back in 1971. These were good times and music was important then. However, will my equipment stand the Grand Funk test? This is my brother’s Aiwa Super T Bass CD stack and the speakers are supposed to handle 70 watts. I’m listening to them now and the live tracks, including ‘I’m Your Captain / Closer to Home are up there with the greatest – well worth the money alone. But they need volume to get the best of the balance between drum, lead and bass. These aren’t just three guys hammering instruments – each song is orchestrated and balanced. So what happens? Imagine my sadness when both of the speakers started fluffing and losing tone. Once again my equipment has failed the Grand Funk sound test -- and I paid £60 for this CD player second-hand! Why can’t the equipment match the music? Music like this is no longer around. Here in the UK there are very few in the know so that makes this music personal. This particular CD demonstrates just what a three-piece band can actually achieve working in harmony, with the bass and drum acting as a rhythm section. Few bands have been able to do this -- The Jimi Hendrix Experience was another. Peter Hobday, Cornwall

5 stars PEOPLE, LET'S STOP THE WAR!
A FANTASTIC album! Mark Farner's swan song as a great writer, but what a way to go! Track-after-track of great material, including one of his all-time best, "People, Let's Stop the War!" (Where are the Mark Farner's of the world when we need them now?) If you like footstompin' music, played with white-hot fire, with great melodies, harmonies, and musicianship, by all means get E Pluribus Funk RIGHT NOW!

5 stars New edition for a classic Funk Album
E Pluribus Funk: a classic album in a new edition. I can´t say nothing new for E Pluribus funk, an album with classics like Footstompin´ Music, the beautiful Loneliness, the excellent People Let´s stop the war .. and four bonus tracks: live recording from April, 1971: I´m Your Captain/Closer to Home, Hooked on Love, Get it Together and Mark say´s alright. Grand Funk was one of the best bands from the seventies and E Pluribus Funk was and is a big, great album ... if you have the old version; you need this ... if you don´t have this album .. don´t wait more, buy it now
