a new album of rare out takes and never before released material is currently being released by San Francisco originals Moby Grape who won legal rights to their name just a few years ago. For the first time in their 40 year history, the musicians are actually going to get a slice of the proceeds from this album. The album is already available on Sundazed, the Grapes new label and will be released next week to the rest of the world. Moby Grape nearly became the next Beatles and were the ONLY band in history to have 5 singles released from a single album. Click on the photo to pre-order on Amazon.
One recent review and Rolling Stones David Fricke on The Place and The Time
The 1967-68 outtakes on The Place and the Time (Sundazed) were first released as bonus tracks on 2007 reissues of Moby Grape’s Columbia LPs, including withdrawn versions of 1967’s spectacular Moby Grape and ’68s Wow. Here, on one CD, these rarities – among them rowdy audition tracks and Moby Grape outtakes – are a dynamic alternate portrait of the star-crossed San Francisco band at work, fusing pop, soul, blues and country with psychedelic zeal.
