MOBY GRAPE/WOW 63271 (-68) UK MONO

Part of the "WoW/Grape Jam" release where two separate albums, one studio and one live, was sold together at the price of one. For some reason one of the studio tracks -"Just like Genne Autry ; A Foxtrot" - was cut at '78 rpm. Not easy to enjoy with todays turntables. In all it's much more adventurous than the debute - a mix between power soul, country, heavily orchestrated ballads and one track with "chipmunk" vocals. To my ears the best they ever did and also their biggest seller. I believe this UK mono is some kind of a fold down. It's very loud and clear, but a few of the tracks seems unbalanced with incredibly large base. To my knowledge never released as mono in US. First UK with structured label as shown here, fully laminated cover and CBS inner.
