Bob Mosley - Bob Mosley (1972).txt

This is not my rip but a request. Files are in Apple .m4a format.

I\'m not sure that this fileset is lossless. When I load them into iTunes for file info, bit rate is 128k and file type is ACC.
Sound quality seems good (for my aging hearing) when listening to mp3 @320 encoded from them.
Found some forum replies stating that not all .m4a files are lossless.
Ex: .m4a comes in two versions, apples aac which is similar to mp3 but has better sound for compression ratio at higher compression.
The other is apples LOSSLESS .m4a which should be similar to FLAC...
My gut feeling is that they are about equal to mp3s @192k.

Review by Mark Deming

Within a year of Moby Grape sadly crashing to a halt again after the release of the ill-fated reunion album 20 Granite Creek, Bob Mosley (who sang, played guitar,
and wrote songs with the group) released his first solo album, and if 1972\'s Bob Mosley isn\'t a masterpiece on the order of Moby Grape\'s peerless debut album, it
showed that Mosley\'s share of the talent that produced that great record was still in working order. Bob Mosley is a decidedly harder-rocking album than much of
the Grape catalog, with Mosley and Ed Black loading up the songs with plenty of tough guitar work, but the melodies show the same blend of grace and power that
marked his best work, and Mosley\'s pipes are in strong form here, with his blues-based vocals sounding potent and impassioned throughout (he also gets a great assist from the Memphis Horns, who add their punchy brass accents to several tracks). \"Joker\" and \"Where Do the Birds Go\" are fiery rockers, \"Let the Music
Play\" is the sort of anthem Grape needed in the wake of their debut, and \"Thanks\" and \"Gone Fishin\'\" are country-rock workouts that fit Mosley like a glove. Bob
Mosley turned out to be Mosley\'s first and last solo album (except for an unreleased 1974 set that didn\'t see release until 1999), but if he fell victim to the same bad luck that haunted Moby Grape, he at least left behind a record that proved he had the talent to make it as a solo act if he\'d been dealt a better hand.

Enjoy !
