FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET, MOBY GRAPE RELEASED AN ALBUM CALLED GRAPE JAM / WOW IN 1968 AND THESE SONGS ARE ON IT. SOME OF THE SONGS ON THAT ALBUM WERE RECORDED IN SAN FRANCISCO, AND THE REST OF THE SONGS WERE RECORDED IN NEW YORK. SO IT STANDS TO REASON BECAUSE THIS ACETATE WAS MADE AT TRANSCO PRODUCTS IN LINDEN, NEW JERSEY, THAT THESE WERE THE SONGS FROM THE GRAPE JAM / WOW ALBUM THAT HAD BEEN RECORDED IN NEW YORK. I DON'T OWN THE ALBUM OR CD, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE SONGS ARE DIFFERENT, OR HAVE A DIFFERENT MIX THAN ON THE ALBUM RELEASE. I LISTENED TO EACH SONG ON THIS ACETATE, THEN LISTENED TO MOBY GRAPE SONGS ON THE INTERNET TO DETERMINE WHAT THE TITLES ARE. BUT I DO KNOW THAT ACETATES ARE NOT MADE FROM RECORD STAMPERS. THEY ARE CUT ON A MACHINE ONE AT A TIME, SO EACH ONE IS UNIQUE IN THAT RESPECT.
ALL OF THE SONGS SOUNDED GREAT WITH A LITTLE VERY LIGHT SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES, WHEN I PLAYED EM' THEN ENTIRELY THRU ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE PRIOR TO LISTING. IN THE CASE OF ACETATES THAT USUALLY MEANS IT HASN'T BEEN PLAYED TOO MUCH. VISUALLY THERE'S A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS, AND I DO MEAN SCUFFS NOT SCRATCHES. ABSOLUTELY NO CLICKS, POPS, SKIPS OR ANY SERIOUS AUDIO ATROCITIES. SOMETHING WRITTEN IN GOLD FELT PEN IN THE CENTER, NOTHING RECORDED ON THE OTHER SIDE. THIS ACETATE ORIGINALLY CAME IN A PAPER SLEEVE WHICH IS INCLUDED, BUT NOW A BRAND NEW GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET IS INCLUDED AS WELL AS A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE. BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE...., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
