PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 16,800 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

STILL FACTORY SEALED !!! NEVER OPENED / NEVER PLAYED!!!

CONTAINS THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE "MOBY GRAPE" "WOW" STICKER ON OUTER CELLOPHANE ... ALL COPIES LOST THIS STICKER, WHEN YOU HAVE TO REMOVE TO OPEN THE RECORDS!

         MOBY GRAPE ....WOW and JAM

 = DOUBLE VINYL LP SET = !

This IS the original (hardly EVER seen) complete first printing that was issued as a TWO Record set, containing both the "WOW" LP together with "Grape Jam" ...

SCARCE Original 1968 first pressing on the highly collected 360 Sound Columbia in thick gatefold cover. Probably SKIP SPENCE's finest performance, containing "Motorcycle Irene" his best ever track, in our opinion....

Moby Grape's 1968 rock of ages "WOW" featured Don Stevenson (drums) and Jerry Miller (guitarist No. 1) backing monster voice/songwriter Bob Mosley (bass) and Loretta Young's son of a Byrds disciple Peter Lewis (guitar No. 2), who all bowed to the group's Syd Barrett/Roky Erickson type guru, Alexander "Skip" Spence.

Wow opener "The Place and the Time" starts out quite right from the get-go, and "Murder in My Heart for the Judge" grabs ahold as a song once heard never forgotten. Mosley's gorgeous "Bitter Wind," Miller/Stevenson's stomping "Can't Be So Bad," and Lewis' gentle "He" swaddle Skip Spence's driving open throttle classic, "Motorcycle Irene" ... "Skippy got messed up right off the bat [in NYC]," states guitarist Jerry Miller. "He was never the same again. It wasn't the same for any of us."

Moby Grape were one of the Acid Rock bands from the 60s San Francisco scene. Skip Spence originally had been the drummer on the first Jefferson Airplane record. But his preferred instrument was always the guitar, and he formed Moby Grape delivering his best... every drop of Moby Grape "WOW" is precious...

The Place And The Time
Murder In My Heart For The Judge
Bitter Wind
Can't Be So Bad
Just Like Gene Autry: A Foxtrot
