LEGENDARY GRAPE - S/T

"2003 LP release on Veronica Breth's Del Val label ('the real follow-up to their pizzazzed debut'). "Legendary Grape is an album by Moby Grape -- original album was issued in 1989 as a five hundred copy, cassette-only release on Herman Records. The album was at the time credited to The Melvilles, being one of the names used by Moby Grape during the course of their protracted dispute with former manager Matthew Katz over ownership of the band name and related royalties. The album was recorded by original Moby Grape members Peter Lewis, Jerry Miller, Bob Mosley, and Don Stevenson. All group members contributed songs, as had been the case during all of the band's history. However, whereas in the past Jerry Miller and Don Stevenson had generally written together, including some of Moby Grape's best-known songs, both were now writing exclusively separately. Founding member Skip Spence was not well enough to perform, though one of his songs was included on the recording. It was the practice of Spence's bandmates to try to include at least one of his songs on every Moby Grape recording, irrespective of Spence's ability to participate in the recording." Very old stock, copies have edge warp not affecting play."
