kenny weir Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'd love to get my minds on the Sundazed reissue of Moby Grape's first cd. Am prepared to pay - just not as high as the $80+ being asked at Amazon. PM me please if you know of anything .... Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 That might be a hard find. AFAIK the Sundazed reissue was withdrawn for legal reasons ( cover art copyright?) I recently picked up a UK 1980s LP reissue which sounds great, interesting album which deserves to be more widely available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I'm sure there must be the odd one lying around somewhere, with its owners unaware of its potential value! It's no biggie, but it'd be nice as I'm currently besotted with early SF stuff - Charlatans, Mojo Men, Great Society, Mystery Trend, We Five, Frumious Bandersnatch, Mad River and so on. I don't know the precise details - there's an explanation at wikipedia, but natch I don't know how accurate it is. But by ALL accounts, the band's former manager is a cross between the devil incarnate and a greedy, using SOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pusey Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Kenny long shot i know, but try Spin in Newcastle, they might have a copy left..... good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 It's a decent record, I have a copy minus the "middle finger" but it's an early stereo. Much prefer Skip Spence on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) The Moby Grape anthology 'Vintage', released on Columbia Legacy in 1993, contained the entire first album (plus 35 more tracks), in excellent sound for the time that CD set was released, and goes for under $30 on Amazon. It was done by the Sundazed team on a contract basis with Columbia, and may make a good substitute for you. I have it at home, and only really keep it for that debut album (especially "Omaha"). Skip Spence on his own is totally lost to my ears/mind. 'Oar' sounds like a drugged-out mess rather than a resurrected classic to me.

AmirBagachelles Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I recommend the Oxford Circle compilation disc that came out 7-8 yrs ago, they were an excellent Northern Cal. ballroom band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily committed to obtaining the best sound of this or anything else at all costs, so this should work. I've read that the reissues available on San Francisco Sound, however, do have shabby sound ane are directly related to the aforementioned manager.
