  • Description

    First album from this San Francisco band.

    Guitarist John Cipollina and singer Dino Valente were the original driving creative force behind the group. Unfortunately Valente was jailed for drugs and rejoined the band later, not featuring on this album.

    The band went on to have a recording career throughout the 1970s with an unchanging lineup.

    Digitally remastered and slipcased, and with extensive new notes.

    Description

    180g audiophile vinyl reissue.

    "Quicksilver Messenger Service's debut effort was a little more restrained and folky than some listeners had expected, given their reputation for stretching out in concert. While some prefer the mostly live Happy Trails, this self-titled collection is inarguably their strongest set of studio material, with the accent on melodic folk-rock. Highlights include their cover of folksinger Hamilton Camp's "Pride of Man," probably their best studio track; "Light Your Windows," probably the group's best original composition; and founding member Dino Valenti's "Dino's Song" (Valenti himself was in jail when the album was recorded). "Gold and Silver" is their best instrumental jam, and the 12-minute "The Fool" reflects some of the best and worst traits of the psychedelic era." - Richie Unterberger, AllMusic
