Quicksilver Messenger Service Discography
The original line-up of QMS, including Dino Valenti, Jim Murray and John Cipollina, came together in early 1965. Various personnel changes occured through that year culminating in the arrival of Gary Duncan and Greg Elmore from The Brogues. The first two QMS albums were recorded by the classic line-up of the group John Cipollina, Gary Duncan, Greg Elmore and David Freiberg. Further changes included the addition of Nicky Hopkins in 1969 and the return of Dino Valenti in 1970. The group split up in 1972. A brief reunion in 1976 led to the release of one LP.
