Pavlov's Dog's debut, recorded in 1974, is regarded as a milestone in the progressive rock genre.

Produced by the team of Murry Krugman and Sandy Pearlman (Blue Oyster Cult), the album opens with "Julia" - the ballad that made the band famous. Moreover, the nine tracks - most of them written by singer David Surkamp - create the blueprint for their unmistakable sound. Prog magazine calls the album "a thrilling experience, with impassioned folk ballads, psych rock and irresistible drama." Pampered Menial ranked #71 in eclipsed magazine's listing of the 150 Best Prog Rock Albums.
