Description:
Quicksilver Messenger Service: David Frieberg (vocals, guitar, viola, bass); John Cipollina, Gary Duncan (vocals, guitar); Nicky Hopkins (piano, celeste, harpsichord, organ); Greg Elmore (drums, percussion).
Recorded at Wally Heider Studios, San Francisco, California in July & August 1969.
Quicksilver Messenger Service: David Freiberg (vocals, viola, bass guitar); John Cipollina (guitar); Nicky Hopkins (piano, harpsichord, organ); Greg Elmore (drums, percussion).
Audio Remasterer: K. Bartley.
Quicksilver`s principal claim to fame on its first two albums was the dueling guitars of Gary Duncan and John Cippolina; here, Duncan has been replaced with Brit piano wiz Nicky Hopkins, of Beatles/Stones/Who/Kinks fame, and the band`s sound is altered accordingly. On the opening title tune, for example, the band still gets much mileage out of the Bo Diddley beat (the entire second effort had been based on it), but in the song`s instrumental mid-section, Haight Ashbury meets London, which is to say the blues riffs co-exist with English Music Hall influences. Overall, the songs here aren`t as uniformly strong as on the band`s debut; fortunately, the album`s closer, the Hopkins instrumental "Edward (The Mad Shirt Grinder"), is a delightful surprise, a melodic suite for honky-tonk piano and rock band that oozes low-key charm.
