Procol Harum : A Salty Dog (Expanded Edition)


ALL HAND'S ON DECK

WE'VE RUN AFLOAT

I HEARD THE CAPTAIN CRY

" EXPLORE THE SHIP, REPLACE THE COOK"

"LET NO MAN LEAVE ALIVE"


 A Salty Dog

 is the third 

studio album by 

English Rock Band 

Procol Harum 

released in 1969 

by record labels

 Regal Zonophone

 and A&M.

Content

A Salty Dog 

has an ostensibly

 nautical theme, 

as indicated 

by its cover

 a pastiche of the famous 

Player's Navy Cut 

cigarette pack

Interspersed with 

straight rock,

 blues

 and pop items, 

A Salty Dog

 showed a 

slight change 

of direction 

from its predecessors, 

being thematically

 less obscure.

 The title track itself 

was the first

 Procol track 

to use an orchestra, 

as would be referred to

 in the

 live album performance 

released some 

three years later.

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.
