Wow/Grape Jam is the second album by the rock band Moby Grape. It was first released in April 1968. It is different from most double album releases in that it was released as two different albums in separate covers, but packaged together and sold for only one dollar more than price of a single LP.[1]
This was Moby Grape's highest charting release in the U.S., peaking at #20 on the Billboard 200 album chart.[2]
Wow had a color gatefold sleeve, while Grape Jam had a color non-gatefold sleeve. Early copies of Wow omit the band's name from the record label, for unknown reasons.
Original US copies of the two-album package had a large blue sticker on the front of shrink wrap which identified the albums and showed the songs of Wow in the correct order. The song titles for Grape Jam were only shown on the back of that album and were not visible on the outside of the sealed package. The back cover of Wow also showed the song titles in an incorrect order, and again, this was not visible on the sealed package.
Guitarist Mike Bloomfield and keyboardist Al Kooper recorded on several songs on the album, most notably, "Never", which has been cited as a source for the Led Zeppelin song "Since I've Been Loving You".
