Quicksilver was a band on the San Francisco scene. After the success of the Jefferson Airplane, the majors all signed their Bay Area bands. Columbia got Big Brother, Santana and It's a Beautiful Day. Warner Brothers got the Grateful Dead. Capitol got Quicksilver and The Steve Miller Band.
Their first album is a classic of the era. Often overshadowed by the Airplane and the Dead, it's arguably a better album than either of their debuts.
