Wow/Grape Jam by Moby Grape (CD - 02/10/1992)
"Wow/Grape Jam" (02/10/1992) Rock & Pop Moby Grape, San Francisco Sound2 LPs on 1 CD. Moby Grape: Skip Spence, Peter Lewis, Jerry Miller (vocals, guitar); Bob Mosley (vocals, bass); Don Stevenson (drums). Unknown Contributor Roles: Don Stevenson; Jerry Miller; Peter Lewis; Skip Spence; Bob Mosley . Moby Grape's self-titled 1967 debut album remains one of the most enduring works to have emerged from any band in the '60s. From the outset, however, the band was saddled with problems on every front. The album's release was confounded by record company over-hype and by inter-band, outer-band, business, and personal complications. Moby Grape was allotted a larger budget for its second album, WOW/GRAPE JAM, and the initial release featured two full albums shrink-wrapped together. WOW is the true sophomore release, with GRAPE JAM being 20 minutes of in-studio jamming by Grape members with Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield. Even with the band's widening divisions and track record of consistently bad decisons, all five members of the band contribute to WOW--with some absolutely stunning results. The album is filled with great songs that are sympathetically arranged and performed, among them the fragile "He," the bluesy "Murder In My Heart For The Judge," and the soulful "Bitter Wind." Moby Grape ends the album with a new version of "Naked, If I Want To"--a strutting, funky take on an acoustic track from their debut.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape (CD - 03/16/1994)
"Moby Grape" (03/16/1994) Rock & Pop Moby Grape, San Francisco SoundMoby Grape: Skip Spence, Peter Lewis, Jerry Miller (vocals, guitar); Bob Mosley (vocals, bass); Don Stevenson (drums). Personnel: Don Stevenson, Skip Spence (vocals, guitar, drums); Jerry Miller, Peter Lewis (vocals, guitar); Bob Mosley (vocals). Recording information: CBS, Hollywood, CA (01/25/1967-11/06/1967). Unknown Contributor Roles: Don Stevenson; Jerry Miller; Peter Lewis; Skip Spence; Bob Mosley . Though Moby Grape came blasting out of San Francisco at the height of the Haight-Ashbury scene, they are more related to LA bands like the Byrds and Love, stressing songwriting, arrangements, and multi-part vocals rather than jamming. This debut album stands as one of the finest debuts by any band of the '60s rock era. The Grape's three-guitar line-up is known to have inspired a similar approach with Buffalo Springfield. From the first blast of "Hey Grandma" to the mesmerizing electric closer "Indifference," Moby Grape moved fearlessly from country-tinged romps to blue-eyed soul, with plenty of pounding-in-the-chest rockers throughout. It's all anchored with tight and inventive instrumental interplay and no less than four songwriters, each with a vocal character that would've made them the center of any band. However, from this enduring peak it all went downhill, with sad swiftness. The usual litany of in-fighting, bad management, label pressures, and drugs began undoing this great band as soon as this album appeared. While created in the late '60s, this is an essential album by the measure of any decade.
