Description
Rare opportunity to own an original copy and first UK pressing of Procol Harum's classic A Salty Dog. Not often you will see this item in such good shape for sale. Record is clean and shiny with minor surface marks, but otherwise in great shape. Laminated sleeve has light creases, tape on the bottom left corner and a small tear in the middle of the back sleeve opening, but is really in wonderful shape for being close to 50 years old (see photos)! Grading is visual only.

The album was the first record produced by Matthew Fisher, who quit the band soon after its release. This was also the last Procol Harum album to feature bass guitarist Dave Knights.
A Salty Dog was recorded in March 1969. The musical tensions between the group and Robin Trower were beginning to show in this album, and although his guitar sound remains integral to most of the tracks, "Crucifiction Lane" (featuring a rare Trower vocal), in retrospect, shows that Trower was already moving in a different direction from the rest of the band. Still, this album is much more musically varied than the two previous albums, with three Fisher vocals and one by Trower.
Reportedly, when Gary Brooker first played "A Salty Dog" at the piano for B.J. Wilson, a sunbeam illumined Wilson's face and he told Brooker he thought it was the most beautiful song he had ever heard.
Happy Bidding!
