Robert Christgau agreed with you.

Allmusic, Crawdaddy!, and Rolling Stone did not.

Oar (album) - Wikipedia

I’m with Bob:

Oar [Columbia, 1969]
Strangest record of the year, slow and lugubrious, completely lacking the explosive energy Spence used to bring to Moby Grape when he called himself Skip and swung axes at people; by anyone else it would disappear immediately. C-

The Grateful Dead - Live/Dead (1969)

The Grateful Dead - Live/Dead (1969)

Given the flood of outstanding posthumous live releases from the Dead, this one is of historical interest only.

Kevin Ayers - Joy of a Toy (1969)

Ayers debut album after leaving Soft Machine

Given the flood of outstanding posthumous live releases from the Dead, this one is of historical interest only.

The historical interest may begin and end with the fact that Jerry Garcia would have turned 80 yesterday.

Hold on there, Li'l Knickers. I didn't see LZ's debut and LZII for 1969, but here is Black Sabbath back-to-back in 1970?

Maybe they want their stolen Blues to be a little less obvious?

Maybe just you and Tony Iommi's mommy?

Sorry, that was indiscrete.
