Pavlov's Dog ) Pampered Menial ) 1974 (50th Anniversary Gold Vinyl 2024)

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".
Gold Vinyl edition LP is a part of Pavlov's Dog Essential Recordings 1974 - 2018 boxset issued in 2024.
