Quicksilver Messenger Service   01/??/1968

Wally Heider's Studio, San Francisco, CA
Source "First Album Demos," supposedly limited to 150 copies. There are many variations of first LP outtakes circulating but I think these are unique and not circulating at the moment. These are from an acetate and are different versions to the tape sources. The vocals are different and overall these sound wimpier to my ears. I believe this was recorded Jan. 1968 or thereabouts. I've included a portion of an interview with David Freiberg where he appears to be discussing this recording. He says it's the first version, which they rejected and redid. The acetate source is pretty crackly and several generations removed by the time it got pressed into this LP. The LP also contains two live songs from Quicksilver's 1976 reunion tour which I've omitted.
01. Pride of Man
02. Light Your Windows
03. I Hear You Knocking
04. Back Door Man
05. Dino's Song
06. The Fool
