spirit" of the debut, the "guitar work is just as impressive and richly layered, and the group's harmonies and songwriting chops are still in solid shape." Deming praises the "tough, funky blues" of "Murder in My Heart for the Judge" and the "horn-driven boogie" of "Can't Be So Bad" and refers to "Bitter Wind", "He," and "Rose Colored Eyes" as "lovely folk-rock tunes with shimmering harmonies." His colleague, Matthew Greenwald, calls "Bitter Wind" "a beautifully written ballad" and "one of Bob Mosley's finest early period compositions", also praising the songs "He", "Rose Colored Eyes" and "Miller’s Blues" and calling "Murder In My Heart For The Judge" “a fabulously hilarious story of being dressed down in a court by a judge while paying parking tickets.” CD editions The first CD of Wow/Grape Jam was a single disc edition on the San Francisco Sound label, owned by Moby Grape's former manager Matthew Katz. It has edited versions of "Bitter Wind" and "Marmalade," while also omits "Just Like Gene Autry: A Foxtrot" and "The Lake" entirely. This edition has been criticized for its mediocre sound quality and poor packaging. The group has never been properly compensated for this CD release. Many of the songs from Wow also appear on the 2 CD collection Vintage: The Very Best of Moby Grape released in 1993. This collection includes "Foxtrot" and the complete acoustic version of "Bitter Wind". It also includes a few Wow out-takes, notably an alternate earlier version of "Bitter Wind" in a completely different rock arrangement. The complete version of Wow was first released on CD in Japan in 1997. A newly remastered version was released by Sundazed Records on October 9, 2007 featuring a number of bonus tracks, most of which were previously unreleased. At the same time Sundazed also released separately the CD debut of Grape Jam in its entirety, with three previously unreleased bonus tracks. Both Wow and Grape Jam were taken out of print on November 3, 2007, along with Moby Grape for reasons that were not officially specified. It has been widely circulated on the Moby Grape mailing list that Katz, whom the band has been in legal battles with since the late 1960s, threatened to file a lawsuit against Sundazed claiming ownership of the albums' artwork.
