still think the first record is 'perfect' but yes this record ranks with the best releases of the decade, and it was an incredible decade.
Moby Grape '69
I just picked up the Sundazed reissue of this long-forgotten album (which has apparently languished for years in some sort of legal dispurte with the band's manager). It's fantastic--looser and possibly even better than their widely-revered debut. From what I've gleaned, this record was made after their overblown second record, Wow, tanked and their resident mad genius, Skip Spence left--although Spence contributed the final track, which is incredible. Among the mountains of discs I've heard of late, this one's the real standout.
