You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

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 and was certified gold by the RIAA a little over a month after its release. The title track was the first single from the album released on July 2, 1973 and the second, "Walk Like a Man", was released on October 29, 1973. Both were sung by drummer Don Brewer. There was also an addition to the band's membership on this release - Craig Frost - who plays the organ, clavinet and Moog. Prior to We're an American Band being released, Grand Funk Railroad had been a trio. Craig was credited as an additional musician on Phoenix, which was released the previous year.

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 to simulate or suggest a "gold" record.
