Pavlov's Dog

You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality. Pampered Menial is the debut album by American progressive rock/AOR band Pavlov's Dog, released in 1974 by ABC Dunhill/1975 by Columbia. Recorded at CBS Studios - New York. Mixed at The Record Plant - New York. The album features a line-up comprising David Surkamp, Steve Scorfina, Mike Safron, Rick Stockton, David Hamilton, Doug Rayburn and Siegfried Carver (born Richard Nadler). Carver left the band soon after the album was released. It was first released on ABC Records, debuting on the charts in early April. The LP was soon reissued by Columbia Records, whose version (with slightly different cover) entered the charts in mid-June, just after the ABC issue had dropped off the charts. Having both versions on sale in stores at nearly the same time may have confused buyers. The album opens with “Julia” – the ballad that made the band famous. In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & the Story of Prog Rock, the album came number 26 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums".

At the Sound of the Bell is the 2nd studio album by American progressive rock/AOR band Pavlov's Dog, released in 1976. Since the previous year's album Pampered Menial, violinist Siegfried Carver and drummer Mike Safron had left the band, being replaced by guitarist Thomas Nickeson and drummer Bill Bruford. Bruford, already famous as a member of Yes, King Crimson and Genesis, joined as a session musician. Several other musicians performed as guests, most notably Grammy Awarded Michael Brecker, Andy Mackay of Roxy Music fame, and guitarist Elliott Randall. The album's cover depicts model Michael Mantel dressed as the Hunchback of Notre-Dame. According to lead singer David Surkamp, "the band was falling apart" during the album's recording, as the members "were all wanting to be songwriters but none of them could write" except for himself and Doug Rayburn. The band broke up in 1977. Silver Vinyl edition LP is a part of Pavlov's Dog Essential Recordings 1974 - 2018 boxset issued in 2024.

Has Anyone Here Seen Sigfried? is the 4th studio album by American progressive rock/AOR band Pavlov's Dog, released in 2007. The album was meant to be the band's 3rd studio release, succeeding At the Sound of the Bell. However, according to lead singer David Surkamp, "the band was falling apart" at the time, the recording sessions were troubled, and Columbia Records "refused to release" the album. The band broke up in 1977, and the recordings were supposed to remain unreleased. Yet, the band's guitarist Steve Scorfina had a tape of the mix from which he created 100 unofficial vinyl copies and released them in 1977 as The St. Louis Hounds. During the next 30 years the album was reissued several times with various titles (most commonly as Third), always as a bootleg. With the original master tapes lost, Rockville Music enhanced the sound of the bootlegged releases the best they could, added 10 bonus tracks and released the album legally for the 1st time in 2007. The front cover depicts the band's original violinist Sigfried Carver, who left them shortly after Pampered Menial's release and is the person in question on the album's title. In 2013 the long-lost master tapes were rediscovered along with the original artwork. Then in 2014 the album was properly remastered and reissued with different bonus tracks and what was intended to be the original album cover, a drawing of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Prodigal Dreamer is the 7th studio album by American progressive rock/AOR band Pavlov's Dog, released in 2018. According to the band's long-standing leader David Surkamp most of the album's songs were newly composed at the time, but "Paris" existed since 1977 and "Thrill of it All" was written "maybe a couple of years later". Both songs are credited to Surkamp and former Pavlov's Dog member Douglas Rayburn, who passed away in 2012. Nathan Jatcko, then member of the band since 2015, recorded some keyboard parts on an electric piano during the album's sessions, with the intention to re-record them on a grand piano in their final form. However, Jatcko committed suicide on January 17, 2018 and was replaced by Mark Maher who completed the recordings. Prodigal Dreamer is dedicated to Jatcko's memory. The album's artwork consists of various black and white snippets from Edwin Landseer's paintings A Jack in Office and Low Life. Pavlov's Dog also based the cover of their debut album Pampered Menial on Low Life. Both paintings represent the same overweight dog, a mainstay of the band's image through the years.
