RECORD STORE DAY 2019 RELEASE
LIMITED TO 1,300 COPIES IN NORTH AMERICA
Skip leaves his hotel. It’s a cold day in Nashville, climbing to only 43F in the afternoon. It may be Sunday, but on this day a 22-year-old musician is working at Columbia Recording Studios. Over the past few days, he’s recorded a slew of new songs and today will be no different. On December 7, 1968, Skip Spence will record no less than 8 different songs. He has only 3 more days left to finish the album. It’s been fast and furious and it’s also been tough, recording every instrument on every track, layer after layer, song after song, overdub after overdub. In a sense, Skip is now a one-man rock & roll band. A few months ago, he was in a band, but now he’s on a different path. On one of today’s tracks, he opens with a low growl, “I want a rock & roll band.” He then sighs, perhaps wish- ing he didn’t have to do it all himself. After repeating the phrase, he adds, “One that spits fire and chews blood!” Skip was in that sort of band just a few months earlier—the talented but jinxed Moby Grape. It’s like he was writing a note to himself, thinking about his old band, thinking about himself as a band, and perhaps thinking about other bands as well. Maybe he was also writing a reply to the Byrds, who once sang, “So you want to be a rock & roll star.” Like the Byrds, Skip was grounded in folk music. Twenty months ago, Moby Grape opened for the Byrds at the Fillmore and Winter- land in San Francisco. They’d rehearsed tirelessly for days-on-end beforehand. But Skip doesn’t want to go back to his past. “I don’t want the Fillmore,” he roars, “I want a rock & roll plan.” While his future may be unclear, Skip is on a mission to record every- thing he has in his body & soul. For a part of that Sunday so long ago, that included, “I Want a Rock & Roll Band”—a song that features so many of Skip’s hallmarks, wit, spontaneity, wordplay, a mixture of intricate & percussive guitar, verve, & a beautiful falsetto. It’s a rollicking snapshot of where Skip Spence was at, smack dab in the middle of his Oar sessions one cold Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee.
