	20 Granite Creek New - LP - RS 6460 Sealed 1971 Original. Tiny CC. “The Story Of Moby Grape Has Been Told And Re-Told Countless Times, With Its Tales Of Excess, Mismanagement, And Record Company Screwups. By The End Of The '60s The Grape Was All But Finished -- Or So Everyone Thought. After An Aborted Attempt At A Peter Lewis Solo Album, Producer David Rubinson Was Able To Help Engineer This Re-Formation Of All Five Original Members, Along With Extra Member Gordon Stevens On Various Stringed Instruments. Written And Recorded At The Grape's Communal House In The Santa Cruz Mountains, The Results Of The Experiment Rendered 20 Granite Creek, An Album That Is Rightfully The Successor To The First Album (1967's Moby Grape). One Of The Most Shining Examples Is Peter Lewis' Funky And Fast "Goin' Down To Texas," Which Clearly Illustrates The Power Moby Grape Had In This, One Of The Original Three-Guitar Lineups. Skip Spence, Who Was One Of The More Interesting Writers In The Band, Contributes One Song, The Delicate And Gorgeous Oriental-Sounding "Chinese Song." The Whole Record Is Quite Similar In Feel To The Doors' L.A. Woman, Another Truly Great, Homemade Comeback Album. Of Course, It Didn't Sell Anything. A True Crime In A Never-Ending Saga.” Matthew Greenwald, AMG. more

	Truly Fine Citizen Used - LP - CS 9912 1969 US original Santa Maria pressing with original Columbia company inner. A vibrant copy in VG++/NM- condiotion. "1969's Truly Fine Citizen was the last gasp for the original incarnation of Moby Grape. The departures of guitarist Skip Spence and bassist Bob Mosley had reduced the once-mighty band to a trio, and sessionman Bob Moore had to be brought in to fill out the lineup. Columbia Records decided Moby Grape needed a break from producer and studio collaborator David Rubinson, and they were sent to Nashville to record with Bob Johnston, best known for his work with Bob Dylan. Johnston reportedly began the sessions by announcing the album had to be recorded in a mere three days, and if the musicians didn't like it they were free to leave. And Moby Grape were in the midst of an ugly legal dispute with their manager that resulted in most of the songs on the album being credited to Tom Dell'ara, their road manager. Given all this, it's a pleasant surprise that Truly Fine Citizen isn't a disaster -- it's a loose but amiable set of sunny psychedelic pop-rock with a decided country influence. Guitarists Peter Lewis and Jerry Miller had already shown their country leanings on Moby Grape '69, and here it comes to the forefront with some solid Nashville-style picking, and their harmonies with drummer Don Stevenson remain one of the highlights of the group's sound. There are a few good songs on board, including "Looper" (which had been in the Grape's repertoire since their earliest days), the sunny "Changes, Circles Spinning" and the title cut, a tribute to a mystic healer the band had met on the road. But Truly Fine Citizen was basically a rush job recorded to finish out Moby Grape's contract with Columbia, and too much of the time that's just what it sounds like, despite the obvious talent of the musicians, and the jazzy "Love Song, Pt. Two" and "Now I Know High," which at 6:14 meanders twice as long as the album's second longest tune, are clear filler on an album that's barely over a half-hour long. Moby Grape were still capable of making a good album when they cut Truly Fine Citizen, but they scarcely had the opportunity to demonstrate that." AMG - Mark Deming. more

	Wow Used - LP - CS 9613 1968 US original 2-Eye gatefold Santa Maria pressing. VG+ cover with light shelf scuff and edge wear. Label just has title "Wow" printed. "Between the time that Moby Grape released their brilliant self-titled debut and when their second album Wow appeared in 1968, a little thing called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band happened, and for the next few years it was no longer enough for a band with some claim to importance to just play rock & roll, even if they approached it with the freshness and imagination Moby Grape displayed on their first LP. Bowing to the pervading influences of the day, Wow is a far more ambitious album than Moby Grape, trading in the latter's energetic simplicity for an expansive production complete with strings, horns, and lots of willful eccentricity, best typified by the helium-treated vocals on the hillbilly pastiche "Funky Tunk" and "Just Like Gene Autry: A Foxtrot," a woozy '60s dance band number complete with introduction from Arthur Godfrey (the band went so far as to master the tune at 78 rpm on the original vinyl edition). While at first glance Wow pales in comparison to the instant classic Moby Grape, repeated listening reveals this album has plenty of strengths despite the excess gingerbread; the horn-driven boogie of "Can't Be So Bad" swings hard, "Murder in My Heart for the Judge" is a tough and funky blues number, "He," "Rose Colored Eyes," and "Bitter Wind" are lovely folk-rock tunes with shimmering harmonies (even if the latter is marred by a pretentious noise collage at the close), and "Motorcycle Irene" is a witty tribute to a hard-livin' biker mama. Wow lacks the rev-it-up spirit of Moby Grape's masterpiece, but Peter Lewis, Jerry Miller, and Skip Spence's guitar work is just as impressive and richly layered, and the group's harmonies and songwriting chops are still in solid shape. While the unobtrusive production on Moby Grape showcased the group's many virtues, those attributes are visible on Wow despite the layers of studio excess, which sapped the momentum and charm of this band without snuffing them out altogether."
