This exciting, beautiful album was finally given a deluxe reissue by Sundazed in October 2007 after years of neglect and legal wrangling. Unfortunately, fresh litigation forced Sundazed to withdrawl this CD (and the mono LP reissue) after only a month on the market.

Review by AllMusic's Mark Deming:
Moby Grape's career was a long, sad series of minor disasters, in which nearly anything that could have gone wrong did (poor handling by their record company, a variety of legal problems, a truly regrettable deal with their manager, creative and personal differences among the bandmembers, and the tragic breakdown of guitarist and songwriter Skip Spence), but their self-titled debut album was their one moment of unqualified triumph. Moby Grape is one of the finest albums to come out of the San Francisco psychedelic scene (perhaps the finest), brimming with great songs and fresh ideas while blessedly avoiding the pitfalls that pockmarked the work of their contemporaries -- no long, unfocused jams, no self-indulgent philosophy, and no attempts to sonically re-create the sound of an acid trip. Instead, Moby Grape built their sound around the brilliantly interwoven guitar work of Jerry Miller, Peter Lewis, and Skip Spence, and the clear, bright harmonies of all five members (drummer Don Stevenson and bassist Bob Mosley sang just as well as they held down the backbeat). As songwriters, Moby Grape blended straight-ahead rock & roll, smart pop, blues, country, and folk accents into a flavorful brew that was all their own, with a clever melodic sense that reflected the lysergic energy surrounding them without drowning in it. And producer David Rubinson got it all on tape in a manner that captured the band's infectious energy and soaring melodies with uncluttered clarity, while subtly exploring the possibilities of the stereo mixing process. "Omaha," "Fall on You," "Hey Grandma" and "8:05" sound like obvious hits (and might have been if Columbia hadn't released them as singles all at once), but the truth is there isn't a dud track to be found here, and time has been extremely kind to this record. Moby Grape is as refreshing today as it was upon first release, and if fate prevented the group from making a follow-up that was as consistently strong, for one brief shining moment Moby Grape proved to the world they were one of America's great bands. While history remembers the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane as being more important, the truth is neither group ever made an album quite this good; however, while both of those bands have been reasonably well served on compact disc, San Francisco Sound's out-of-print CD edition of Moby Grape's debut was sonically flawed, and for a long time the best way to hear it in digital form was on Columbia/Legacy's 1993 anthology Vintage (also out of print), which featured all thirteen songs from the first album in proper sequence (albeit interrupted by studio chatter and an instrumental outtake). Sundazed's 2007 reissue finally give this album the re-mastered presentation it has long deserved; while the audio on Vintage emphasized the album's sharp high end, Bob Irwin's mastering is richer and better balanced, not to mention better detailed, with the guitars and vocals much improved in this version. The Sundazed edition also includes five relevant bonus tracks, including "Rounder" (the instrumental which appeared on the Vintage compilation), two songs from Moby Grape's first demo tape ("Looper" and "Indifference," which show the band was already a force to be reckoned with), an early take of "Bitter Wind" (which the band would re-record for their second album, Wow) and an unedited version of the non-LP cut "Sweet Ride," here expended to nearly six minutes. Sundazed's new edition of Moby Grape, complete with fine packaging and new liner notes by Gene Sculatti, treats this album like the treasure it truly is, and anyone interested in this band would do well to pick this up.

Set News flag go

И как же сие понимать?!

100% мой мул пока ещё ни у кого не видел. Этот файл -- обман? Если нет -- кто и почему IP этого релизёра (как я предпологал, ведь именно у procure была самая большая часть файла, 96%, с самого начала) попал в IP фильтр?..

100% мой мул пока ещё ни у кого не видел. Этот файл -- обман? Если нет -- кто и почему IP этого релизёра (как я предпологал, ведь именно у procure была самая большая часть файла, 96%, с самого начала) попал в IP фильтр?..

Siren, знаешь как я делаю когда вижу нового здесь на форуме и с правильным релизом? Сначало говорю спасибо... Потом копирую линк... сохраняю его в текстовом файле... через месяц - если всё улеглось и это нормальный патцан, а не тёщин парнишка... тогда ставлю в закачки.
Бережёного и Б... ну я думаю не он сам, но всё-таки. Так что ждём-с

P.S. Я про этот релиз и релизёра ничего не наговариваю, так я делаю всегда и уже давно.

Так ведь я тоже никого ещё не упрекал! Я только удивился такому "повороту событий", когда увидел, что мул его отфильтровал как file-faker'а. Я даже риторически спросил, кто его в IP фильтр записал... Ибо пока жду и сам выводов неделаю.

I do not understand Russian. Is there some problem with the share? It is my first time posting a CD here.

Thanks

all downloaded 96,5%, it come more?

IP Filter shows you as a shill/bad IP/file faker. Why is 1 chunk missing from your release? They want you to release that missing chunk.

Has anyone downloaded 100% of this file? My P2P client, Shareaza, has been uploading the file to dozens of people for two days. I don't see a problem.

looks like I see one full source, but I would strongly recommend you to change your client. Even the official Emule version is better

obstreperousness What can I say,thanks for the release!
