This 1993 compilation offers a solid, if late, overview of Moby Grape's significant contributions to the psychedelic and folk-rock movements of the late 1960s.
- The album was released on Legacy Recordings, a division of Columbia Records, dedicated to reissuing previously released material.
- "The Very Best of Moby Grape · Vintage" draws from the band's first three albums: Moby Grape, Wow/Grape Jam, and Truly Mighty Moby Grape.
- This compilation was released over two decades after the band's initial burst of creativity, serving as an introduction for a new generation of listeners.
Moby Grape was a San Francisco-based rock band formed in 1966, known for their eclectic sound that blended psychedelic rock, folk, and blues. They were a prominent act in the San Francisco scene of the late 1960s, recognized for their unique five-part harmonies and a debut album that famously contained ten songs, each credited to a different songwriter. This compilation, "The Very Best of Moby Grape · Vintage," arrived in 1993, long after the band's initial run, offering a retrospective look at their most enduring tracks.
