Peace by Piece is the ninth album by San Francisco psychedelic rock band Quicksilver Messenger Service and the first to be released with guitarist Gary Duncan at the sole command. A later released CD-version includes two bonus tracks, entitled "Crazy Jesse" and "Electric Love".

Gary Duncan, guitarist for Quicksilver Messenger Service since the 1960s, formed a band in the mid-1980s that he variously called Quicksilver and Gary Duncan Quicksilver. Peace by Piece is its first release.

In his 1-star review for AllMusic.com, William Ruhlmann panned the effort, saying in part, "[This is] an album that has nothing to do with Quicksilver Messenger Service and isn't any good."^[1]
