Description
Moby Grape was one of the great psychedelic bands of the late 60s. They were comprised of several great musicians and songwriters with varying backgrounds, so their music has components of folk, rock, classical, blues, and jazz. They had several highly successful singles, and likewise several commercially successful and critically acclaimed albums. This was the band’s second album, and was their most commercially successful album. While their debut was comprised of psych rock songs, this album showcases the musician’s passion for the blues. And one totally unique track makes this album even more fun. The last track on side one is introduced by one of the band members instructing the listener to stop and change the turntable speed to 78 for the next track. Upon doing so you are transported back to the 40’s with a track featuring Arthur Godfrey narrating and playing a ukulele. It’s a great touch on a great album. If your turntable does not play 78 the needle will not progress through this track. The album was released on Columbia in 1968, number CS 9613. This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster though with several light surface scratches, none of which dramatically impact play. There is one quite noticeable scratch on side two that produces regular pops through tracks four and five. Otherwise it plays with just light sporadic background noise and an occasional pop. There is a name and address sticker on the side two label. The vinyl grades VG. The gatefold album cover shows light ring wear and some corner and edge wear. All seams show wear but are sharp and intact. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I will do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive. My promise is that I will never put up for auction any album that I would not be proud to play for others on my own turntable.I only use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or more small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping
Shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S. I happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! The $4.00 cost for U.S. shipping applies regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period.Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $15. Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $20 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day. Payment by Paypal is preferred.
Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
