Shinin' On is the eighth studio album by American rock band Grand Funk Railroad. The album was released in March 1974, by Capitol Records. Although not as successful as its predecessor, We're an American Band (1973), it peaked at #5 in the US and was certified gold, and its first single, a cover of "The Loco-Motion" topped the U.S. charts.[1] The original release included stereoscopic glasses for viewing the artwork in 3D. The cover art was provided by graphics artist Neal Adams, based on an idea by the band's photographer Lynn Goldsmith and manager Andrew Cavaliere.[2] A quadraphonic version of the album was released in 8-track format.
