WHAT's NEW
[Top (page index)] [Up] [Down] [Bottom (site index)]

What's new on this web page?

If you see the date changing on this page, without an announcement in this section, it is probably something like fixing minor coding problems, spelling errors, minor layout changes, new page on this site (so I changed bottom index), ... Any major changes to this page, will be announced here.

June 24, 2011 I just noticed that their first CD/LP is being rereleased with bonus tracks. If you don't alread have their first, now is the time to buy it.

November 24, 2010 Recoil, the John Cippolina documentary on three DVDs is now out. The DVD includes interviews with John as well as contemporaries. The DVD includes musical performances from many of the bands he was in. The DVD can be purchased at http://www.johncipollina.com/. This is a limited edition release, only 2,000 are being pressed.

November 3, 2009 Cracking The Vaults. Today, Wolfgangs Vault just added a lot of new lives show for listening and purchase. Here is the link for Quicksilver Messenger Service in Wolfgangs Vault.

August 18, 2008 It now looks like there will be a series of live CDs featuring their original line up. Shows to be released on CD include:
September 9, 1966 Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA
October 28, 1966 Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA
February 4, 1967 Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA (2CD Set)
February 6, 1967 Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA
April 4, 1968 Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco, CA (2CD Set)
November 4, 2008 I got my copies and have started listening to them. There are a few tunes that I had not heard before.

May 31, 2007. You can now listen to streaming free music from this band as well as others at Wolfgangs Vault.

July 18, 2005. I just noticed that the ezBoard message board that I had set up for this web site had been deleted. Since restoration of the deleted conference is only available to subscribers to their service, and since the activity was relatively light, I not planning on looking for another message board. If you do think a message board is worth while, or you have a message board that you like, let me know and I may promote it here. As always you can contact me here.

March 10, 2001. It looks like I may have been premature in moving to a new web hosting site. I just found out that whenever Tripod.com is having hardware or software problems with their servers, they put up a message for the webmaster that their site is in violation of terms, and the web site has been deleted (instead of a message about system problems and try again later). Anyway, I believed Tripod.com when they said they deleted my account, so I will be moving, and making chromeoxide.com my new home on the web.

March 10, 2001. As long as I am moving my entire site, I decided to make a few changes to the layout of the individual pages, and the web site in general, including (but not limited to) I removed the counter, and moved the listings of mirror sites to the bottom of the page, ...

March 6, 2001. Sometime between March 1 to March 5, 2001 Tripod deleted my account/web site. The last stats Tripod gave me were 9,000+ visitors per month. Since my site is so popular, I have decided to keep it going, in spite of this major setback. But rather than trying to build up another free web site, and possibly deal with this problem again, I decided go with CommandLine.net to host the new chromeoxide.com.

October 31, 2000. The new Chrome Oxide Music Collectors Pages Message Board is provided by EZBoard.

January 11, 2000. I just picked up Unreleased - Lost Gold And Silver. A 2 CD set. Disc 1 is live material from 1968. Disc 2 is studio alternate takes, and rare studio recordings. This is a must get for any serious fan.

October 31, 1999. There used to be a complete listing of all the bands featured on this site at the bottom of each page on this site. The complete band list has now been moved to the Site Map.

Back in June 1997 when I started this site, the index at the bottom of the page seemed like a good idea. Due to the amazing growth of this site, I now think that the Site Map is a better way to do it.

I will continue to list the featured band of the month at the bottom of each page on this site.

December 3, 2002 CD Now is undergoing changes, and asked that ALL links be removed.
October 28, 1999 I signed up with CD Now.

October 22, 1999. The Chrome Oxide Music Collector Pages web site hit the big time! And I didn't even know it.

Tripod stats showed that this web site had more than 4,000 unique visitors last month (September 1999). Because of that, Tripod has increased my web space from 11mb to 50mb.

May 21, 1999. On the advice of legal counsel, we have now added a copyright notice, and legal disclaimer to the bottom of each page on this web site.

March 31, 1999. I started a new section on this page, Classifieds. Now, if someone is interesed in putting an ad here, or I find something I think is worthwhile, there is a place for it.

March 16, 1999. Thanks to a recent visitor to this page, we now have a logo for the Chrome Oxide Music Collectors Pages, as well as a new background and seperator bars. There may be additional changes to look forward to as well.

September 10, 1998. I combined the Mirror Sites and the counter section into one place.

July 22, 1998. I started working on this page.

QUICKSILVER MESSENGER SERVICE
INTRO
[Top (page index)] [Up] [Down] [Bottom (site index)]

Quicksilver Messenger Service started out as a psychedelic rock band from San Francisco in the mid to late 1960s. Lead by dual guitars of John Cipollina and Gary Duncan, this band liked jamming, and was much more of a live band than a studio band. After the first two albums, they evolved into a more straight ahead rock and roll sound. This page is dedicated to the more psychedelic sound created by the dual lead guitars and the extended jams they performed at their live shows.

Comments and corrections would be appreciated.

And of course, any audio-video-print additions to my collection would be appreciated.

I am also interested in getting wider exposure for this site. So links from your site to mine would be appreciated. And if you know of any sites that allow/encourage submission, I would also appreciate knowing about them as well.

Do you have any articles, books, albums, tapes, CDs, ... on this band that you would like reviewed and / or integrated into this page?

Do you have any other band that you would like to see a page for on this site?

I don't have a whole lot of information on the band, other than, when they were rehearsing at the Matrix, Marty Balin (then owner of the club) picked Skip Spence to be the drummer for Jefferson Airplane (which was then just forming). And Casey Sonoban left shortly thereafter.

Location not seen on liner notes. However, I have seen another list that says this date was Fillmore West.

(qc) CD = Babylon
studio recordings: early 1967 Pacific High Studios, late 1967 Continental Sound Studios, 1969 "Shady Grove" sessions.

4 Million Hard to Find CDs & LPs at MusicStack
December 10, 2002.
Back in October 1999 I put up links to CD-Now so that visitors could easily link to the related band pages and instantly see which items were still in print/available for purchase. CD-Now no longer has that option. For the moment I am putting in Amazon.com search boxes. Amazon.com doesn't easily allow for links to individual band pages in the same way that CD-Now used to. So, instead of me being able to create direct links, I have put up the Amazon.com search box instead. So you can still go to a page with the various bands products, buy you now need to go through a search box.

As always, let me know what you think.
