WOW
Wow has a more heavily produced sound than the first Moby Grape album. String and horn arrangements were added to many of the songs by producer David Rubinson. Recording started in Los Angeles in late 1967, but most of the album was recorded in New York City in late 1967 and early 1968. Murder In My Heart For The Judge is a thumping blues rock tune written by drummer Don Stevenson that was later recorded by Lee Michaels and Three Dog Night. Bitter Wind, written and sung by Bob Mosley, has remained one of the group's most popular songs. The acoustic version heard here contains an ending that includes harsh wind noises and backward vocal. Other standout tracks include Jerry Miller's rocking shuffle Can't Be So Bad, Skip Spence's darkly comedic roots rocker Motorcycle Irene and Peter Lewis's lush ballad He. The album also includes an electrified re-arranged version of Naked, If I Want To, which was heard on the first album as an acoustic track. Just Like Gene Autry: A Foxtrot is the most unusual song here, a 1930's style tune written and sung by Spence. It was given a spoken introduction from Arthur Godfrey and cut onto the LP record at 78 RPM with added scratchy sound effects to give it an authentic period effect. (As a note to collectors, some copies of Wow omit the band's name from the record label, for unknown reasons.)

Grape Jam was criticized for its rather loose and mostly improvised performances which contrast sharply with the heavily produced material on "Wow". However Grape Jam is also notable in that it features guest appearances on piano by Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield. This studio album was recorded in New York City in January and February 1968. Skip Spence is mostly absent and Peter Lewis does not appear on this album. Never has often been cited as a probable source for Led Zeppelin's song Since I've Been Loving You: the opening lyrics, the bluesy arrangement and some melodic elements are almost identical. "The Lake" is a strange combination of poetry submitted by a fan and avant-garde psychedelic Musique concrète sound effects somewhat like side four of Freak Out! or Revolution 9. The album was the inspiration for a number of other studio "jam" albums during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Later examples of this trend included Al Kooper's Super Session and the 3rd LP of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass.
