{"product_id":"place-and-the-time","title":"Place and the Time","description":"One of rockdom's ultimate coulda-been-contenders tales, Moby Grape exploded out of San Francisco with a 1967 debut that many critics consider the artistic peak of their city's fabled scene. A quintet (each of whom sang and contributed songs) that featured three excellent guitarists, the Grape had a tighter sound than most of their contemporaries and boasted a mystique that could have rivaled the Band's or Grateful Dead's had not terrible management and bad acid derailed their juggernaut. After their undeniable debut, the band nonetheless cut three good-to-great records--WOW\/GRAPE JAM, MOBY GRAPE '69, and TRULY FINE CITIZEN--from 1968-1969.\u003cbr\u003eThis fantastic Sundazed two-disc set collects previously unreleased rarities from their early years--each track a peek into their extraordinary depth. Jerry Miller's leads sizzle on \"The Place and the Time\" and \"Sweet Ride (Never Again)\" while a first album outtake, \"Rounder,\" foregrounds the headlong energy of the band's best singles. \"Skip's Song\" predicts the shambolic epics Skip Spence would bring to blown-mind realization on his solo masterpiece, OAR. While not the best springboard for beginners--for that, try MOBY GRAPE--THE PLACE AND THE TIME is essential for fans wanting more of their classic era.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49126390628639,"sku":"090771522917","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/0d5f714d75e1b68bc42d2dcbfd882d33.jpg?v=1780923196","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/place-and-the-time","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
