- A Salty Dog is an album by the Rock band Procol Harum, released in June 1969. Having an ostensibly nautical theme, as indicated by its cover, 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 sound effects and an orchestra, as would be referred to in the live album performance some three years later. 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 3 Fisher vocals and 1 by Trower. The title track, backed with "Long Gone Geek", reached number 44 in the UK singles chart in 1969 and the album itself number 27 in the album chart. 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. The album was the first record produced by Matthew Fisher, who quit the band soon after its release. The song "A Salty Dog" was featured in the 1983 film Purple Haze. This song was also covered by Transatlantic, on the 2-disc Special Edition of The Whirlwind. It is sung by drummer Mike Portnoy.
- A Salty Dog è il terzo album dei Procol Harum, pubblicato nel 1969 dalla A&M.
- A Salty Dog är bandet Procol Harums tredje album, släppt i mars 1969. Det här albumet var det sista som originaluppsättningen av gruppen spelade in tillsammans och Matthew Fisher var producent. A Salty Dog har hav och sjömän som tema, och brukar ofta räknas som gruppens bästa album. Musikstilarna och tonen på låtarna varierar också mycket, från det tragiska titelspåret genom ballader som "Too Much Between Us", och hårdare rockande låtar som "The Devil Came from Kansas". Albumet släpptes på nytt 1997, och då inkluderades även singel-b-sidan "Long Gone Geek".
- A Salty Dog est le troisième album du groupe Procol Harum, sorti en 1969. Il est produit par l'organiste Matthew Fisher, qui quitte le groupe peu après sa sortie. Plusieurs chansons y évoquent la mer, à travers les yeux d'un « vieux loup de mer » (A Salty Dog) ou durant le naufrage d'un navire (Wreck of the Hesperus). Sa pochette parodie le logo de la marque de cigarettes Player's Navy Cut. La chanson-titre, parue en single avec Long Gone Geek en face B, se classe seulement 44Modèle:E au Royaume-Uni.
