Synopsis

Album Description

2004 compilation from the San Francisco-based Psychedelic Rock band. Overshadowed by their more successful San Fran compadres like Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape were often better at blending Folk, Blues, Country and Rock 'N' Roll than anyone else in the '60s. Based around eccentric singer/songwriter Skip Spence (formerly of Jefferson Airplane), Moby Grape were destined for bigger and better things, but Spence's emotional instability and bad management problems made sure that the band didn't survive past the late '60s. Still, their music lives on. Sony.

CD Reviews

Looper-ed

Roger Duprat | Cleveland | 03/17/2004

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The essential Moby Grape is found on their first album. Don't quite understand why the whole thing wasn't included here. They cut a few things afterwards that were very good, and they were always a great band. "Wow" and "Truly Fine Citizen" are fairly weak albums redeemed by a few choice cuts. The now-deleted two-CD set on Legacy remains the only decent testament to this band. You can pay an inflated price for the first album on CD. Blame Matthew Katz for this, and for the generally shoddy treatment this group, who were sort of the Big Star of the '60s, receive these days."

The only Grape compilation currently in print

"it's well worth spending the big bucks to get the mind blowing 2 CD set of Moby Grape that's current out of print - but if can't afford that - or don't want to take a chance - this single disc set that's currently available from the UK is a nice introduction. Their debut album is a monster - (someone else on this website claims it's over-hyped - don't believe it. Also don't believe the theory that they only made one good album. their 2nd LP WOW is overall pretty solid (it as good what the Buffalo Springfield and the Jefferson Airplane were bringing to the table) and the later recorded really DO have their moments. So Cross Talk is actually really good - as it covers their whole 1960's career. You'll buy this on CD and then you'll begin looking for the original LPs..........."

"es sabido que para muchos moby grape quedo atrapado en su muy aclamado primer album...sus siguientes discos fueron tratados de irregulares, comparandolos con el primero..sin embargo seguian teniendo esa chispa, ese touch tan personal de esta gran banda. esta compilacion reune basicamente temas realizados durante los 60..obviamente, como a cualquier "best of" se lo podria recriminar la ausencia de tal o cual tema.. pero en si no deja de ser una excelente muestra del talento y originalidad de este peculiar grupo,que sin dudas merecio mejor suerte. lo realmente pobre de esta edicion es el booklet, poco informativo, no detalla la carrera del grupo, a que disco pertenecen los temas, etc. , y en este tipo de ediciones, que representan una buena oportunidad para conocer a determinada banda, estos errores son imperdonables."
