Re-mastering by Ron McMaster at Capitol Studios 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/AMG TracklistA1 Pride Of Man 4:06 A2 Light Your Window 2:39 A3 Dino's Song 3:07 A4 Gold And Silver 6:44 B1 (It's Been) Too Long 2:56 B2 The Fool 12:10

Prior to this album's release, Quicksilver contributed two fine songs to the soundtrack of the film Revolution. Vocalist Dino Valente's subsequent drug bust and incarceration didn't prevent them from playing live, but it did delay the completion of their first album. Quicksilver's debut was consequently more mature than those of their late-1960s San Francisco Sound brethren--Big Brother, the Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane. Quicksilver's first outing offers long instrumental passages and a communal attitude toward vocals and solos. Overall, however, QMS, while enjoyable and historically important, pales next to the band's innovative second release, Happy Trails. --James Swift
