Rediscovered
after 41 years – The forgotten 1st Pavlov's Dog album from
1973
On
Novemer 28th the believed lost „Pekin Tapes“ by Pavlov's Dog will be
released by Rockville Music. The „Pekin Tapes“ were recorded in October 1973,
nearly two years before „Pampered Menial“, and were originally intented to
become the band's debut album. They fascinatingly demonstrate the variety and
wide-ranging musical scope of the early Pavlov's Dog, as the band itself handled
the production, with no outside producer to answer to.
When ABC Records listened
to the „Pekin Tapes“, they signed the band and decided to send them back to
studio to produce a completely new album: “Pampered Menial“ was released in 1975
and became a milestone in Progressive Rock history. The „Pekin Tapes“ though
were never used and finally forgotten. Golden Voice Studio in Pekin/IL burned
down in 1977, taking with it the masters of the “Pekin Tapes“.
They were
believed lost since then. Unexpectedly, in 2014 a copy of the “Pekin Tapes“ was
discovered. After going to extensive lengths to restore the tape, the “Pekin
Tapes“ will be released with a delay of some 41 years. Additionally, the release
includes four bonus tracks of early demo recordings from March 1973. These are
the earliest Pavlov's Dog signs of life ever discovered.
