Full Range Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 16 hours ago, MookieStl said: I have always been a big Pavlov's Dog fan. They were a local band here in St. Louis (they were mostly from a small burb next to south StL called Maplewood). Glad to see they reached halfway across the world too. The album is very well done and every song is strong in its own right. Not sure why they never made it bigger. Signed a large two album deal and then faded away. Used to do a few reunion concerts from time to time and I believe the lead singer, David Surkamp still lives in the area. I bought an original pressing that was used for promotional purposes (given to radio stations etc) of their first lp as I had heard them in concert and loved the sound. I believe that members kept on leaving The second album was a commercial failure and Colombia dropped the band They were preparing for a third album when that happend and it never eventuated Some time later the master tapes were stolen and a bootleg album was released followed in 1994 by a record company release I believe that they still tour 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many additions and subtractions. Just for fun, I went on ebay and bought a copy of their third (originally bootlegged) album that CBS refused to release due to poor sales of the first two releases. I will be anxious to hear it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was reading that and saying, things that make me go hummn. Good pic and yes, early on before others of equal musical ability had the light shine upon them, Bet it is cool. Got a very few but all are decent condition. Have you got your custom TT setup from Wardsweb? Or, your LF's player spinning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 No billybob I think Luther got too busy but it was fun to think about a "live edge" plinth. LF's table is working well and sounds pretty sweet with the new speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 OK @Full Range I was being facetious! It's hard to tell when reading a statement. You're conversing with a long time Rush fan here. Loved Rush since before Permanent Waves came out and that was the first of a half dozen times I've seen them. Did not know that "Working Man" was them until after I heard "Trees" when it started playing on the same radio station. Imagine that; radio stations actually played music that had reasonable composition to it back then. Love Rush, but we've had the Stanley Cup for a while on the south side of the border now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 That Pavlov's Dog band had me thinking of them after dinner, on to my second one I like the 1970s Rush best of all! OK how many guy backsides are there on lp covers from the 70s? That could do a whole thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 You know, I keep remembering bands that have seen. Thought of another today but cannot remember atm. Rush is a band that has always had my ear although not lp, unfortunately. Xanadu a fav. Right now another intermission so watch this spot. No offense to any religion by me...

Full Range Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 @billybob Rush is a great band My take on them is that they are a prog version of Black Sabbath May I recommend the Rush Chronicles as a fantastic compilation ( I have it on Digital Media ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
