Artist:  Moby Grape

Title:  Wow

Date:  1968

Label:  Columbia Records   CS 9613

Design and Collage:  Bob Cato

Notes:  Although most people couldn't name one of their tunes, the Moby Grape was there at the beginning and played some great earthy rock n' blues music for the denizens of the Haight district and beyond. One stand out on this record is the simply wrought "Naked, If I Want To". They've also included "Arthur Godfrey" which needs to be played at 78 rpm (try that with todays turntables). Surrealistic deco art on both covers and lyrics reflecting the turmoil of the changing times make for an interesting slice of the sixties.
