You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

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.
