Quicksilver Anthology

VINYL FORMAT. On 180 gram vinyl! Along with fellow superstars Jefferson Airplane, Steve Miller Band and The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service were one of the first Bay Area rock acts that helped usher in the progressive rock/acid rock movement during the height of the Summer Of Love in San Francisco. With its core line-up of David Freiberg, Dino Valenti, Greg Elmore, Gary Duncan, Nicky Hopkins and John Cipollina, this amazing band truly delivered many fine recordings during their successful reign at Capitol Records. Anthems of the era still resonate today with society issues and world problems as Quicksilver foretold with their classic signature tunes like "Fresh Air," "What About Me," "Hope" and "Pride Of Man." With the superstar talents that made up this band over the years, it was not uncommon to hear radio stations play entire sides of their revolutionary albums during the dawn of FM and underground radio. Capitol Records awarded Quicksilver and their huge fan base with a very extensive and amazing greatest hits package, Anthology, back in 1973. Right from the start you get a healthy three track serving from their first monster release Quicksilver Messenger Service, along with more solid tunes from other fine albums like Happy Trails, Shady Grove, Just For Love, What About Me and other classics.

This amazing album features sixteen of their most important songs from their legendary albums from 1967 through 1973. From the early acid rock sounds of "Dino's Song" and the twelve minute epic "The Fool," to later day hits, this album truly shows the relevance and importance of this sorely missed iconic band. Mastered impeccably from the original Capitol Records tapes by Joe Reagoso and Ron McMaster.
