Product Details

Quicksilver Messenger Service never got their full due outside of San Francisco, but within that scene they were essential, holding down the psychedelic end of the Haight alongside Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. Anchored by John Cipollina's unmistakable guitar tone and the fluid contributions of Dino Valenti and David Freiberg, their catalog sprawled from extended improvisational workouts to country-tinged folk rock, making a chronological survey like this the clearest way into a discography that resists easy categorization.

Released originally as a 2 vinyl set by Capitol Records in 1973, prior to the band delivering their last album, 'Solid Silver', for the label. Chronologically compiled with tracks from 'Quicksilver Messenger Service', 'Happy Trails', 'Shady Grove', 'Just For Love', 'What About Me' and 'Quicksilver', plus a rare b-side, 'Bears'.The band called it a day in 1975, but since then there have been numerous revivals and ever-changing lineups. Digitally remastered and slipcased, and with new notes.
