Procol Harum : A Salty Dog ( New Link )

A Salty Dog 

is the third studio album

 by English

 progressive rock band 

Procol Harum, 

released in 1969 

by record labels 

Regal Zonophone 

and A&M.

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

 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.
