Quicksilver Messenger Service (Vinil 180g, LP)

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.

John Cipollina, Gary Duncan (g, voc); David Frieberg (b, voc); Greg Elmore (dr, perc)

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
