Gino Vannelli – Powerful People (Vinyl LP, 1974, A&M Records SP-3630, Pitman Pressing, Bernie Grundman Mastering)

Why This Record Matters
Powerful People helped establish Gino Vannelli in the U.S. and includes “People Gotta Move,” his first major American hit. Produced and arranged by Gino and Joe Vannelli, the album blends pop rock with jazz-rock, funk, and fusion elements, supported by an extensive keyboard and synthesizer palette.

Collector Note
This 1974 U.S. A&M Records edition was pressed at Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman, identified by the stamped P in the runouts. Bernie Grundman mastered the album at A&M Mastering Studios, and this copy retains its original inner sleeve.
