Pavlov's Dog was a progressive rock band formed St. Louis, Missouri in 1973. If there is any musical ensemble deserving to be called "unique", certainly it is Pavlov's Dog. Founded in 1973 by Chuck Berry drummer Mike Safron, Pavlov's Dog captured the world's attention due to the astonishing voice of David Surkamp.
The band signed its initial recording contract with ABC Records in 1973 for the unheard of figure of $500,000. The group was dropped within weeks of the release of its debut Pampered Menial. Columbia Records re-released Pampered Menial within a month of the ABC debacle, following it's own $500,000 advance. Soon the album began charting on two labels simultaneously on the Billboard charts (a first & last for the recording industry).
Here Pavlov's Dog is: David Surkamp - guitar & vocals; Steve Scorfina - lead guitar; David Hamilton - keyboards; Rick Stockton - bass; Doug Rayburn - mellotron & flute; Siefried Carver - violin & viola, & Mike Safron - drums & percussion.

Seen this record so many times crate digging an passed it by for unknown reasons.
ReplyDeleteTime to pay attention to it. Coming from you there must be something.
At the moment spending some days in crazy Buenos Aires, maybe can find a vinyl copy in my crate digging days by the record caves left around.
