Moby Grape: Vintage: The Very Best Of Moby Grape
Jon Savage, MOJO, November 1993
MOBY GRAPE BEGAN IN 1966, arguably the decade's peak; they fell apart in 1969, a time of madness, desolation, dread. Between the optimism of Hey Grandma and the utter desperation of Seeing are 46 cuts: they tell the story of five young men who thought that they could do anything and who ended up nowhere.
