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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. Please keep in mind 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 became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RARE ORIGINAL 1971 FIRST PRINTING ~
One of the hardest UK Vertigo LPs to find in anything approaching acceptable condition, and one of the most highly-rated musically - an inventive mix of jazz, blues and hard rock with outstanding guitar work by Ollie Halsall. Here, a minty clean vinyl 1971 first press in thick gatefold cover (check complete details below)
Patto's second 1971 album, "Hold Your Fire", presents a great collection of songs that explores somewhat more complex musical territory than the debut album, "Patto". There are still relatively straight-ahead songs loaded with splatter guitar all over the place, and other great songs like the title cut and "You, You Point Your Finger". But the album contains a lot more experimentation, with unusual time signature changes present in nearly all of the tunes. There's plenty of great rock, and the complex influences still presents itself in many of the songs, particularly in Ollie's Air-Raid Shelter.
In just a year, Ollie's guitar playing improved incredibly since the debut album, having perfected his legato hammer-on/pull-off technique. His fast, fluid, and inventive playing is the star of this album. Nearly every track on "Hold Your Fire" includes extraordinary guitar playing that these words cannot possibly do justice to, and he had only been playing guitar for four years! If you are into great guitar playing and you haven't heard this album, you are urged to rectify that situation as soon as possible.
Muff Winwood's production on "Hold Your Fire" is not as minimalist or in-your-face as it is on "Patto". More time was spent on overdubs. John's drums have a fuller sound. Ollie's keyboards are more present throughout the album. "Hold Your Fire" is a fine sounding album with impressive songs and musicianship of an extraordinary caliber. It is a shame that it has not been discovered by more rock music and guitar enthusiasts.
CONDITION: The Cover: The thick gatefold cover is solid all over; rated VG+(+) because of some light shelf wear, some light rub around the edges but nothing bad, just light ... has no split seams, no writing and bright original colors
The Vinyl: with clean swirl vertigo labels ... the grooves have a few very minor little scuffs, just a few, nothing close to deep, visual VG++ plays with solid excellent audio, enjoyable no audio problems. Again, has clean VERTIGO SWIRL labels
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
