Legendary Grape
Re-Union Sessions from 1989 with the original members: Miller, Mosley, Stevenson, Lewis & Spence.
Formed in late 66 by Bob Mosley (ex-Misfits) & Peter Lewis (ex-Cornells), they got one of the most loved San Francisco
band when they relocated from San Diego & Los Angeles:
With a Columbia recording contract, they were the first band to get a really great Hyp from the company, but lost them
nearly all fans from the hippies.
First album with great heavy psych tracks like "Hey Grandma" & "Omaha" ;got covered by UK groups like The MOVE &
The MONTANAS too; was by far the best. The original cover was on the index too & got retouched.
The next two albums are also recommended. After "69" they lost direction and spliting & re-united sometimes.
Skip Spence released one very rare album "OAR" (not unlike Syd Barrett in sound) released with Bonus on Sundazed too.
Style: West Coast - Psych; Bluesrock; Country influence too
