MOBY GRAPE: THE REAL POTATO - CDR. UNRELEASED. 2009. ULTRA RARE!
***** STUDIO RECORDING FEATURING THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL BAND WITH OMAR SPENCE SUBSTITUTING FOR HIS
FATHER, THE LATE, GREAT SKIP SPENCE. *****
THIS CD WENT UNRELEASED DUE TO THE USUAL GRAPE HARD LUCK. IT IS THE CLOSEST GRAPE CD IN QUALITY TO THEIR LEGENDARY FIRST LP. THE SONGS AND PERFORMANCES ARE CLASSIC GRAPE AND OMAR SPENCE SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE HIS FATHER ON SUCH SKIP SPENCE SONGS SUCH AS DARK MAGIC, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, ROUNDER, ETC. !!!!
THE FACT THAT THIS CD WENT UNRELEASED IS A SHAME BECAUSE IT IS THE GRAPE ALBUM EVERYONE WAS WAITING FOR. PETER LEWIS HAS SOLD THIS CD AT HIS AT SOLO SHOWS. THIS DISC IS OBVIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY UNKNOWN.
***** AS A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN SINCE 1964, I MORE THAN RECOMMEND THIS. IT WILL EXCEED ALL GRAPE EXPECTATIONS. YOU WILL PLAY IT CONSTANTLY! *****
BACK STORY: I ATTENDED THE CHARLATANS 50TH ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND IN VIRGINIA CITY, JUNE 2015. WHILE THERE, COPIES OF 'THE REAL POTATO' WERE BEING DISCREETLY SOLD. WHEN I DID RESEARCH ON THE DISC, I CONTACTED DANE CLARK, THE PRODUCER & JOHN MELLENCAMP'S DRUMMER, WHO'S REPLY WAS, "I FIND IT VERY UNSETTLING THAT YOU HAVE A COPY OF THAT CD."
CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
"I'VE LISTENED TO THIS SEVEN TIMES IN A ROW. IT'S THEIR BEST SINCE THE 1ST LP."
"Amazing Album! Great Grape! Worth every penny. How this never got a Studio Release is beyond me. Thanks for making it available."
Item is exactly as described and as a long time Grape fan I’m glad to have it!
Outstanding transaction, fast shipping. A++++++ all the way. Thankx!!!!!!
NOW OVER 50 COPIES SOLD AND 50 GRAPE FANS RAVING ABOUT THIS.
