Beautiful 1968 Rainbow Label Stereo Original Still In Shrink Wrap. LP Appears Unplayed. “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.” Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide.
