It is the first album after the departure of co-founder Skip Spence. Spence nonetheless is heard on one song, "Seeing", presumably from the Wow/Grape Jam sessions, and positioned as the final song on Moby Grape '69. As Peter Lewis describes the album, "We made Moby Grape '69, in an attempt to rebound from the Wow album, which was over-produced. And it's a cool album. Although we could have rehearsed it a little more, we still believed in it. But I think we were waiting for Skippy to come back, and he never did."[4]
The album peaked at a disappointing number 113 on the Billboard chart.[5] Nevertheless, it is noteworthy as an early endeavor into country rock.[6]
The album was re-released on CD and Vinyl in 2007 by Sundazed, but as with their previous albums, it has been pulled.
