The album was released on December 29, 1969 by Capitol Records, just four months after their debut album On Time. Recorded at Cleveland Recording Company, the album was produced by Terry Knight and engineered by Ken Hamann. The album was certified gold by the RIAA, the first for the group. It includes a cover of the Animals' "Inside Looking Out" which is still a cornerstone of the band's live concerts today.

Grand Funk was originally released by Capitol Records in LP, cassette, 8-track tape, and reel-to-reel configurations. The original reel-to-reel version (manufactured for Capitol/EMI by Ampex) contains edited versions of "Got This Thing on the Move", "Please Don't Worry", "Mr. Limousine Driver" and "Inside Looking Out", the harmonica solo has been deleted, not available elsewhere. The edits on these songs reduce the album's overall running time by approximately five minutes.

In 2002, Grand Funk was remastered on compact disc with bonus tracks and also released in a limited edition box set Trunk of Funk that contained the band's first four albums. The "trunk" has slots for twelve CDs to house the future release of the remaining eight albums that were released by Capitol Records. Also included is a pair of Shinin' On 3-D glasses, a guitar pick and a sticker reproducing a concert ticket.
