Capitol Records, founded in 1942 as Liberty Records, is a renowned music label based in Hollywood, California. With a rich history and impressive sales of 42 million records by 1946, Capitol quickly became one of the Big Six studios. In 1955, it was acquired by British company EMI for $8.5 million and later became part of the Universal Music Group's Worldwide division in 1979. The merger with Priority Records in 2001 further solidified Capitol's position in the industry.

EMI began releasing Capitol products in the UK, Europe, and Australasia from January 1956 onwards after licenses with other record companies expired. Over the years, Capitol has seen various changes in ownership and management. In September 2012, it was purchased by Vivendi S.A., owner of Universal Music Group.

Capitol Records is known for its distinctive album prefix codes that provide valuable information about each release. These codes include letters indicating stereo or mono recordings, price codes denoting different list prices, indicators for multiple discs or special packaging.

Grand Funk Railroad is a hard rock band from Flint, Genesee County, Michigan (USA). Formed in 1969, the band consists of Mark Farner on vocals and guitar, Don Brewer on drums and vocals, Mel Schacher on bass, and Craig Frost on keyboards. Highly popular during the 1970s, Grand Funk Railroad toured constantly to packed arenas worldwide. Rolling Stone Magazine's David Fricke declares that "You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad!" The band's name is a clever play on words of the Grand Trunk and Western Railroad, which ran through their hometown of Flint.
