Quicksilver's origins cut across the two major elements of San Francisco's development, the folk clubs and the garage band circuit. The central catalyst was Dino Valenti, an ex-Greewich Village folknik, who had left New York around 1964 and travelled to Los Angeles, hoping for a new career. Although the availability of live work was only patchy, Dino did some recording, and two tracks taped at the World Pacific Studios - "Black Betty" and "Live Is Like That" - eventually appeared six years later on a compilation on Together Records, "Early L.A.". This album also included some of the earliest material by the Byrds, and coincidentally both they and Valenti moved on from these sessions to record one-off singles for Elektra. The Byrds issued "Please Let Me Love You" (as 'the Beefeaters') and Dino "Birdses"/"Don't Let It Down" appeared around the same time.
Songs like The Only Girl... were never on an other record before.
In 1969 this was an unique lp with mostly pre-byrds and related.
Only exception...rare long track by The Heat. Hard to find these days!
