Quicksilver Messenger Service - Just For Love (1970) [2005 Japan remaster]

Quicksilver Messenger Service is an American psychedelic rock band, formed in 1965 in San Francisco and is considered one of the leading acts on the city's psychedelic scene in the mid-to-late 1960s.

Although synonymous with the psychedelic scene of late 1960s San Francisco, Quicksilver never quite lived up to the standards set by their fellow Haight-Ashbury acts. They never achieved Jefferson Airplane's commercial notoriety, Moby Grape's critical acceptance, or the Grateful Dead's cult status on the live circuit. Like the Dead, they were an exceptional live act that dealt almost exclusively in multi-guitar psychedelic boogie. Also like the Dead, they had difficulty committing their live energy to wax.

By 1970, they stopped trying, went to Hawaii, and instead recorded the Just For Love album. Just for Love marked their reunion with the band's founder Dino Valenti, who brought with him an emphasis on vocals and song craft. Just For Love is the fourth album by Quicksilver, released in August 1970. It marks the culmination of a transition from the extended, blues- and jazz-inspired improvisations of their first two albums to a more traditional rock sound.

Founding member Dino Valenti, who returned to the band after a stint in prison on drug charges, was largely responsible for the new sound. Valenti's influence is readily apparent throughout; he composed eight of the album's nine tracks under the pen name Jesse Oris Farrow. Despite the marked change in the band's sound, it was their third straight album to reach the Top 30 on the Billboard charts, peaking at #27. The only single culled from the album, "Fresh Air," became the band's biggest hit, reaching #49 on the pop chart, urging its willing listeners to “have another hit”.



Personnel: Gary Duncan (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, maracas, wood block, sound effects); Dino Valente (vocals, guitar, flute, congas); David Freiberg (vocals, guitar); John Cipollina (guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar, steel guitar); Nicky Hopkins (piano, keyboards); Greg Elmore (drums, percussion).
