EXTD=AZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nMoby Grape's "Wow", October 17, 2007 \n
EXTD=By  James Choma (Brecksville, OH United States)\nBefore I ever he
EXTD=ard any of their songs, I knew of Moby Grape by reputation -- the
EXTD= quintessential 60's band that had an incredible first album, the
EXTD= success of which they could never top, and they flamed out big t
EXTD=ime. I always wondered how that momentum was halted and how such 
EXTD=a highly regarded band could flop. \n\nThat brings us to "Wow." U
EXTD=ntil recently, I had never heard anything other than their first 
EXTD=album, which was pretty darn good and serves as a great late 60's
EXTD= timepiece. When getting ready to listen to "Wow," I prepared mys
EXTD=elf for dull, boring, tuneless 60's psychedelia. I must say I was
EXTD= truly blown away by how good this entire CD was. I dare say it's
EXTD= just as good as the debut album. Great harmonies, tight playing 
EXTD=and arrangements, and great instrumentation throughout. I swear l
EXTD=istening to this made me feel like I was transported back to 1968
EXTD=. It's one of those rare albums that does live up to it's title. 
EXTD=\n\nThis prompted me to find out more about the band and see exac
EXTD=tly where things fell apart. And after searching, I found that wi
EXTD=th Moby Grape, what could go wrong, did go wrong. At the root of 
EXTD=it all lay horrible management on the business and personal side.
EXTD= Moby Grape was a wonderfully constructed boat without a rudder; 
EXTD=and when they crashed, they quickly sunk. \n\nIf you're intereste
EXTD=d in the band, all you really need is this album and the self-tit
EXTD=led debut. I think "Vintage" (a double CD collection of their bes
EXTD=t) may be out of print, but it certainly would give you a taste o
EXTD=f the band as well. \n\nStand out songs: "Murder in My Heart For 
EXTD=the Judge," "Bitter Wind," "Rose Colored Eyes," and "He." \n\n\nA
EXTD=MAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nWOW, October 11, 2007 \nBy  E.I.E.I. O
EXTD=wen (Philadelphia, Pa United States)\nAfter the release of Sgt. P
EXTD=epper, almost everybody in the music world tried to copy it with 
EXTD=mostly disastrous results. Overblown production, forced strings, 
EXTD=and goofy sound effects showed up in most pop music afterwards. E
EXTD=verybody wanted to ride on that multi colored bus called Psychedl
EXTD=iea, especially the major labels. Few groups were able to pick up
EXTD= the gauntlet that the Beatles threw down and the Moby Grape was 
EXTD=one of them. \n\n"Wow" is the group's second studio album. It is 
EXTD=a lot more varied than its predecessor is but it also shows that 
EXTD=it is a product of it's time. Not many groups could pull off an a
EXTD=lbum that goes from the madrigal-like "The Place & the Time", to 
EXTD=a soulful rocker "Murder In My Heart For The Judge", to the sound
EXTD= collage in "Bitter Wind", to a shuffle with horns in "Can't Be S
EXTD=o Bad", to the ode to vaudeville in "Like Gene Autry; A Foxtrot",
EXTD= all in the space of one side of an album (note: on the original 
EXTD=vinyl version of the album "Like Gene Autry" was actually mastere
EXTD=d at 78rpm.). The rest of the tracks give more evidence that the 
EXTD=Grape had what most of their San Franciscan brethren did not, son
EXTD=gs. \n\nAgain the re-mastering job is better than expected and a 
EXTD=vast improvement over previous incarnations. Unfortunately, the b
EXTD=onus album "Grape Jam" is not included. When "Wow" was initially 
EXTD=released, record buyers got the "Grape Jam" album as a bonus. Now
EXTD= "Grape Jam" is available separately and like "Wow," it has bonus
EXTD= tracks and liner notes from Gene Sculatti. So pick it up and enj

EXTD=ut flawed, indulgent, October 17, 2007 \nBy  J. DiMoia (Singapore
EXTD=, SG)\n"Wow," recorded mainly at Columbia's New York studios in l
EXTD=ate 1967, represents the beginning of the left turn that Moby Gra
EXTD=pe would take for the remainder of their career. Like other revie
EXTD=wers, I had not heard the album in its entirety before now--liste
EXTD=ning only to the relevant tracks contained on Vintage--and am now
EXTD= hearing it with "fresh ears." The above rating may change in the
EXTD= near future, somewhere in the range of a 3.5 or 3.75, after givi
EXTD=ng it several listening experiences. \n\nSo what's different from
EXTD= the first album? For one, there's the post-Pepper syndrome, the 
EXTD=tendency to layer strings, horns, and assorted sound effects over
EXTD= a set of otherwise strong songs. This works wonderfully at times
EXTD=, as with the string section on "He," but can result in sophmoric
EXTD= comedy at others: do we really need to hear Skip's voice distort
EXTD=ed to sound like Dondald Duck on "Funky Tunk"? And what the heck 
EXTD=is that psychedelic middle section doing on "Bitter Wind," a plai
EXTD=ntive ballad meriting a stripped, low-key production? This tenden
EXTD=cy to include everything but the kitchen sink places the album sq
EXTD=uarely within its era--and indeed the album needs to be taken ser
EXTD=iously, not relegated to obscurity--as a minor masterpiece of lat
EXTD=e psychedelia. \n\nStill, what's ultimately frustrating about thi
EXTD=s one is its departures from the group's strengths in country, ro
EXTD=ots rock, and a three guitar attack, strengths to which it would 
EXTD=return to in another interesting, if equally flawed, album, Moby 
EXTD=Grape '69. \n\nHighly recommended to fans of the group, as well a

EXTD=is an historical gem sorely missed on the CD. Tom Petty repeated
