Quicksilver Messenger Service is the debut studio album of Quicksilver Messenger Service, released in May 1968. The group were among the last of the original major San Francisco bands to secure a recording contract, which meant that the album appeared many months after the debut efforts of Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish, Moby Grape, and Big Brother and the Holding Company. Despite this, the album received acclaim and is considered a cornerstone release in the late '60s Haight discography.
