Editing Quicksilver Messenger Service (section)

===Dino Valenti rejoins===
Gary Duncan and Dino Valenti both returned to Quicksilver Messenger Service at this time, expanding the group to a six-piece. The next two albums, ''[[Just for Love]]'' and ''[[What About Me (Quicksilver Messenger Service album)|What About Me]]'', were recorded simultaneously in Hawaii. Much of ''What About Me'' was recorded at [[Pacific High Recording]] in San Francisco, and both albums were mixed at Pacific High.

The band's approach to recording was undisciplined, with Valenti renting a building without electricity to record in. The finished albums took many hours in the studio because the group had a contract which allowed unlimited studio time with no Capitol producer present unless invited. The producer was only invited to the studio to hear the playing of the finished albums.

The albums are a departure from the group's earlier sound, with Valenti taking over as lead singer and, under the pseudonym of Jesse Oris Farrow, principal songwriter. The records sold relatively well and produced the group's one hit radio single, "[[Fresh Air (song)|Fresh Air]]". John Cipollina and Nicky Hopkins departed soon after their experiences in Hawaii. Hopkins apparently left during the Hawaii recording sessions, as founding [[Paul Butterfield Blues Band]] keyboardist [[Mark Naftalin]] takes his place for three cuts on ''What About Me''.
