+ 5 Bonus Tracks

Moby Grape were formed in San Francisco at the end of 1966. They signed with Columbia and released five singles simultaneously in the middle of 1967 followed by their first LP. A second LP followed in 1968 but lack of success and various other problems caused them to split up at the end of that year. They reformed in 1969 without Skip Spence and released a third LP but then split up again in 1970. Three of the original members then refomed the group and recorded a fourth LP in 1971. Subsequently the group has occasionally reformed in various formats but only for short periods.

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.
