Savaloy Dip is an album recorded in 1974 by singer songwriter Alan Price. Despite being recorded in 1974 and intended to be a sequel to O Lucky Man!, it was only released in 2016.^[1]

It was recorded for Reprise Records as a full-length album, clearly intended for official release, but was recalled by the company after being accidentally issued on 8-track.^{[2] [3]}

Before it was recalled, a limited number of copies were sold, which are now very rare.^[4]

It was intended to be a sequel to O Lucky Man!, but due to it being recalled, the album was dropped and Price moved on to record Between Today and Yesterday, with its title track originally having been written for Savaloy Dip.^{[5] [6] [7]}

In 2016 it was released by Omnivore Recordings.^[8]
