"Peace Mix" song ids requested
Will Dockery
appreciated both from the folk-rock psychedelic era of 1968 or so:
One has such lines as "I know you're leaving soon..." and "Please
change your mind, before my sun is gone..."
The other (possibly by the same group/writer) "It's all in the game...
looks like you're playing it through, looks like you're playing it
too..."
Neither of the above lyrics for these two songs appear on google's
search, either Web or Groups, so it's high time, in my opinion, any
ideas to toss around on these and others I may get to soon would be
helpfull, however dim your memory may be.
I got these on a 21 song set made by Brian Folwer called "Peace Mix"
with minimal credits:
Moby Grape
Skip Spence
Grateful Dead
Zombies
Jefferson Airplane
Holy Mackeral
Yardbirds
Dylan
Quicksilver Messenger Service
SAC
Blues Image
Not sure if this is a complete list of credits as I'm pretty sure the
Turtles are also included...

Yes, great stuff that I heard about for all these years but never got
around to hearing... I've been told there's a Skip Spence solo cut on
the collection, as well, a odd but catchy song about a "cripple" and
his wheelchair...

A pretty good collection called "Listen My Friends" I've found from
that first record, with cuts from the other three or four that
followed. Seems from this NPR article there was a 5-CD set reissued
last year, then pulled because of a cease-and-desist from Moby Grape's
eternal thorn in the side, ex-manager Katz, who over the past 40 years
has continually fouled up any progress, keeping them off the Monterey
Pop film that made such artists as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin
household names, and then claiming to own the name Moby Grape, keeping
the remaining member from performing under the name for 20 years or
so:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17498799
"...All Things Considered, December 21, 2007 - Mention the name Moby
Grape to a roomful of rock critics, and you'll hear nothing but praise
for the 1960s San Francisco rock band. But aside from fans and
critics, few people today have ever heard of Moby Grape. Why? Bad
advice, bad breaks and bad behavior are three short reasons. Now that
a label is trying to right these wrongs by reissuing the group's first
five records, old problems still stand in the way..."

Also, how is the availability of Legendary Grape, Live Grape, the 1983
"heart cover" album on CD, from some of the better CD shops?
Sorry, the Atlanta trip wiped me & Dave out, right past LaGrange they had
road construction for "29 miles" the sign read, with traffic backed up to a
crawl for miles and miles... they did have some interesting bootlegs, though
none from Infidels and not "Rough Cuts"... the complete rehersal tapes from
Rundown studios, 3 discs, looked good, from early 1978, including Street
Legal out-takes... 50 bucks, though, so I didn't get it, a LOT of
neverending tour 1990s bootlegs, and a bunch of 1975-76 rolling thunder
shows. Not much 1960s, no 1980s (I'd like to have seen the Empire Burlesque
naked I've read about) all at 30-50 bucks a pop. One Planet Waves outtake
album/live stuff with a nice over of another drawing from the same
sketchnook at the PW cover, it looks like. Oh yeah, the entire first blood
On The tracks record, the one he pulled for the later sesions, with what
looks like must be the original cover i read in Rolling Stone about, red
flowers on a white background, making he image of "blood" on "foot prints in
the snow" or "tracks".
Anyway, ran into Patrick with his backpack so we brought him back and
dropped him out downtown, which he was really thrilled to get out of Atlanta
after a year of living on the streets there. That was rough having him in
the backseat but good to know we might have saved his life... the streets of
Atlanta look brutal with this new depression coming. People demanding money
threateningly, which I suppose works for some folks... as Brian Mallard said
about P's Atlanta trip, "I was afraid he'd wind up dead."
Dropped him out, didn't even stop downtown we were so tired and I needed to
check my face, which was hurting from the lack of attention all day, went
home, had some food (even Varsity looked sad, almost empty... I said to the
old guy the "whattayahaver" man we picked a good time to come in and he said
it's like that every day now, even Varsity is hurting, which I need to tell
Parnell... I've never seen Varsity slow) and told Dave to take a quick nap
then I'd call you in a few, after some coffee... at which point I crashed
out... until now! The trip was exhausting, this time.
Interestingly, looking at the phone records now, you called within 10
minutes of Jim White!!! Maybe he does want to make a go of it, after all. I
was asleep by this point.
Anyway, I did pick up 4 Moby Grape CDs, one MG vinyl album, and the
legendary Skip Spence solo album, made after he did a Sid Barret and left
the band... a weird one! I'd like to get copies, and have four new Moby
Grape (new to me, anyhow, from the 1960s and 70s) CDs I got yesterday to
trade with:
1.) Moby Grape '69 (a stone classic, founder of the country-rock movement)
2.) Legendary Grape (just settling in on this, the first two cuts "All My
Life" is a raving Spence homage, writ by him as well, but unfortunately he
was too unwell to appear, and "Nighttime Rider" is perfect in simpliity...)
3.) Mosley Grape
4.) Oar (the liner notes are worth the price of admission alone...)
Good stuff...
and Truly Fine Citizen, a vinyl copy of their last album on Columbia.

Good stuff exists, if you know where to look!
