Quicksilver Messenger Service is the debut studio album of Quicksilver Messenger Service, released in May 1968...
The self-titled album eventually came out in May 1968, housed in a sleeve whose front cover was designed by famed San Francisco poster artist Rick Griffin, In the UK, Disc & Music Echo ecstatically opined "beautiful music, carrying you several miles up from your room into the ionosphere and then smashing you back to earth again with things which just shouldn't be...possible on record.".. - Wikipedia

Quicksilver Messenger Service was the epitome of the #SanFrancisco #60s #psychedelic band. Describing San Francisco/ #JamBands as having folk, jazz, and classical influences has become a cliche, and as much as it applies here, it falls short in describing their sound. There’s a sweetness (it's not a bad thing) and lightness to their sound, maybe imparted by the way they used keyboards and by their use of flute that to me set this particular band of hippies apart.
There’s apparently controversy about whether future lead singer #DinoValenti was involved when they first formed, and disagreement about when he (re?)joined in 1969, whether that was the downfall of the group or its elevation to a new creative peak, but it’s the latter form of the band that had more commercial success, and what I think of as #QuicksilverMessengerService.
"Quicksilver Anthology" released in March 1973.

#nowplaying Quicksilver Messenger Service - What About Me (1970). This was their fifth album. It would also be the last to feature Nicky Hopkins. #onmyturntable #myrecordcollection #QuicksilverMessengerService
Daily #SteveKimock. A very special #Saturday treat! Video of an early #Zero show with #JohnCipollina that I don't believe has ever seen the light of day. I've been on a big digitizing campaign this week, going through piles of DVDs that I had stored. Ran across this one last night!

Why'd the band split up the one long song on side A into multiple tracks? Because the record company paid pop singers by the tracks.
The banding isn't arbitrary, though. They stitched together the album's "Who Do You Love?" from multiple live tapes. Listen via playlist and you'll notice: each track highlights a different member.
"We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold."

Kinda weird how #QuicksilverMessengerService put out one decent acid-rock LP, one absolute skull-pulper, and then five or six of forgettable acid-folk.
#HappyTrails is the gem, anyway. Bo Diddley bounces retooled as primal hippie jamming, straight from the Haight.
