E Pluribus Funk is Grand Funk Railroad's fifth studio album, and was released in November 1971 by Capitol Records. This is the final Grand Funk Railroad album produced by Terry Knight. The title is a play on the former motto of the US government, E Pluribus Unum. The original release cover (designed by Ernie Cefalu) was completely round and covered with a silver-like film to resemble a large coin. Grand Funk broke The Beatles' Shea Stadium attendance record by selling out in just 72 hours. The back side of the cover of this album included a die cast picture of Shea Stadium to honor that feat.
