Alan Price’s Savaloy Dip is one of history’s great lost albums. It was recorded as a full-length clearly intended for official release, accidentally issued for a nanosecond (on 8-track!) then recalled, the circumstances behind its fate murky to this very day. Warners A&R VP Lenny Waronker couldn’t recollect why, but for some reason Savaloy Dip, scheduled to be the follow-up to O Lucky Man!, was scotched. To complicate matters, a few 8-track versions of the album were pressed (at Ampex’s Elk Grove Village, Illinois plant) and distributed before being recalled. Price salvaged one track from the project, "Between Today And Yesterday," as the centerpiece for his subsequent album.
