Moby Grape – Moby Grape '69

Most of the songs on MOBY GRAPE '69 are in a pleasant country rock vein. infused with a dollop of psychedelia. "I Am Not Willing", "Ooh Mama Ooh" and "If You Can't Learn From My Mistakes" rise above the rest, but "Seeing" is the gem of the album, and the only song Skip Spence appears on. This pressing sounds okay, low end is solid, guitars have a good sound, but bass/drums are a bit muddy. My copy has light surface noise throughout.

Kevin Gray + Sundazed = a great combination. You can't go wrong with this pressing.

With Skip Spence gone (lost to schizophrenia) some say MG also lost their quirky spark. The result: a surprisingly smooth elaborate countrified rock LP w/ great guitar work, quality song writing & vocal harmonising.
An against the odds triumph.

This is my favorite moby grape lp just edging out the self titled. The reason is I tend to enjoy the mellow Lewis/Stevenson compositions over Mosley and his over the top blues singing. Just not a fan of that. If I wanted to hear B B king then I would get a king lp. No thanks. Get this one and pull songs like He off of wow and make a compilation:)

This is the version that sounds the best to me. Great job!

very nice and warm sounding version. many thanks to everybody and RMLoVerde!

And of course this was issued in the UK in stereo: S 63430

The cat no. above is wrong. Moby Grape '69 is CS 9696 (US stereo). The no. quoted above refers to the band's first album (also US stereo).
