Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

"Roll 'em Smoke 'em" is THEE Patto album...all you guitar players out there' get this if only for "Loud Green Song; IT WILL FLOOR YOU!!!! Ollie Halsal was one of those guitar players who died young and never got the recognition he deserved...PATTO: great playing..a great band ''with a wicked sense of humor!
Listening to Roll 'em Smoke'em, one may be amazed not to have realised earlier that that Mike's Flat-footed Woman in the opening track was, of course, a policewoman. [Flat-foot being a 19th century slang expression based on the perceived result of patrolling the streets].
One may also quickly notice the sheer magnificence of Singing the Blues on Reds [which would probably have been a better album title than the actual one, with its improbable number of commas and apostrophes].
This sheer cosmic fusion must rank amongst Ollie, Mike, John & Griff's finest achievements. Interestingly, the original US release flipped the first two tracks, presumably to promote the more commercial opener.
If Hold Your Fire was Patto's Revolver, then Roll 'em Smoke 'em is clearly the group's Sgt. Pepper. [Let a debate, similar to that regarding the Fabs albums, ensue concerning superiority.]
Whilst Roll 'em is not so heavy on the old wizzo guitar as Hold Your Fire, it does include the quite extraordinary Loud Green Song - widely considered the most insane piece of guitar playing ever comitted to vinyl and even cited as, possibly, the genesis of the wild-ass Punk scene. Elsewhere, I Got Rhythm and Peter Abraham, are beautifully understated fretboard gems.
It is probably fair to say that Mummy and, to a lesser extent, the Pythonesque [or, more accurately, Goon-esque] Sea Biscuits, are strong enough though pale to the above. Perhaps at least one of them might have been better substituted with Holy Toledo [a song from roughly the same period, preserved only as part of a BBC Radio 1 session].
What remains quite wonderful, however, is that: a) these items should have been conceived in the first place, and: b) they were actually included on the record - Contrast this with the climate just one year later, when Island Records wouldn't release the far more conventional follow-up Monkey's Bum at all.
