Purple Vinyl LP!
Sharing stages with fellow San Francisco heroes Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin with Big Brother & the Holding Co., the Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moby Grape was a scintillating blend of all the music they loved: rock 'n' roll, blues, folk and honky tonk with just enough psychedelia to blow more than a few minds.
Moby Grape followed the expansiveness of 1968's Wow with an unadorned, back-to-basics sound on this, their fourth long-player. Bob Mosley's understated vocal makes the ballad It's a Beautiful Day Today one of the great Grape tracks, Peter Lewis stately I Am Not Willing is still a stunner and Trucking Man and Ooh Mama Ooh show that nobody could rock a shuffle like guitarist Jerry Miller and company. Most of '69 was recorded as a quartet, with Skip Spence having just left the band. His parting gift, Seeing, is an alternately tender and tough tab of psychedelia that prefigures his rightly touted solo album, Oar. We now offer it to you on purple vinyl!
