It clears the sonic palette and also bids adieu to this particular fab foursome of psychedelia. The brief title track, a cover of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans' "Happy Trails," seems almost insignificant in the wake of such virtuoso playing. A prime example of his individuality is the frenetic "Maiden of the Cancer Moon" - ascending from the remnants of "Mona." The angst and energy in Cipollina's guitar work and line upon line of technical phrasing could easily be considered the equal of a Frank Zappa guitar solo. The brief title track, a cover of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans 'Happy Trails,' seems almost insignificant in the wake of such virtuoso playing. He is able to summon sonic spirits from his guitar in a way that is unlike any of his Bay Area contemporaries. This track also contains some of Cipollina's finest and most memorable fretwork. Here the members of QMS play off each other to form a cohesive unit. The record was released by Capitol Records in 19691 in stereo.

The collective efforts of John Cipollina (guitar/vocals), Greg Elmore (percussion), David Freiberg (bass/vocals), and the aforementioned Duncan retain the uncanny ability to perform with a psychedelic looseness of spirit, without becoming boring or in the least bit pretentious.

This album is the last to feature the original quartet incarnation of QMS. Without question, this follow-up to Quicksilver Messenger Service's self-titled debut release is the most accurate in portraying the band on vinyl in the same light as the group's critically and enthusiastically acclaimed live performances.
