Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted.
Grading is based on visual inspection.
Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve.
I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.
Wow/Grape Jam is the second album by the rock band Moby Grape, released in 1968. It is different from most double album releases in that it was released as two different albums in separate covers, but shrink wrapped together and sold for the price of a single LP. Grape Jam was originally intended to be given away as a free bonus album with Wow.
- Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield play on "grape Jam".
- Both of these were in the same set when Seller acquired it new in his store in 1969. He never played either record and they have been in storage for 46 years.
- Both records are First pressings with matrix endings in 1B &1C.
- They are thick vinyl with the CBS double eye logo label.
- "WOW" is a paper on heavy board Gate Fold with tight seams and spine. There are two minor corner bumps and no shelf wear.
- The single sleeve paper on board "Grape Jam" cover is in the same condition.
- The solid paper inner sleeves have yellowed with age. I have replaced them with soft plastic. originals are included.
