Quicksilver Messenger Service (album)


Quicksilver Messenger Service is the debut studio album of Quicksilver Messenger Service, released in 1968.

History

This was Quicksilver Messenger Service's first album, although they had already produced two songs for the soundtrack of the 1968 movie Revolution. The album displays the group's jam sound amidst lighter pop-oriented songs. Unlike contemporaries such as the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver's jams were highly planned as can be heard by comparing the studio versions of songs with those from bootleg live performances.
"Dino's Song" was written by
Dino Valenti who was at that time in prison due to marijuana-related offenses.
