Description:
Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the classic 1971 album Hold Your Fire by the legendary Patto. One of the truly great bands of the early 1970s, Patto featured a line-up comprising Mike Patto (vocals), Ollie Halsall (guitar, vibes, keyboards, vocals), Clive Griffiths (bass) and John Halsey (drums). The band arose from the ashes of the group Timebox and recorded their self-titled debut album in 1970. Patto were graced by the presence of the stunning guitar playing of Ollie Halsall and a highly original and unique musical style that set them aside from their progressive rock contemporaries of the era. Hold Your Fire was the band's second album and includes such classics as 'You, You Point Your Finger', 'Hold Your Fire' and 'Air Raid Shelter'. This Esoteric Recordings remastered and expanded edition has been fully sanctioned by all members of Patto and their representatives (for the first time ever) and is now a two CD set with thirteen bonus tracks including five out-takes from the album recording sessions (two previously unreleased) and eight previously unreleased BBC session recordings from 1971 including a legendary session for the BBC Radio One In Concert series in March 1971 (featuring guest guitarist Bernie Holland) and a session for Sounds of the Seventies from June 1971.
"Hold Your Fire: 2CD Remastered and Expanded Edition" is a comprehensive reissue of Patto's acclaimed second album, originally released in 1971. This deluxe edition, presented by Cherry Red Records, features the remastered original album alongside a wealth of bonus material including rare tracks and previously unreleased recordings that showcase the band's innovative blend of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and blues influences. Patto was known for their virtuosic musicianship'particularly guitarist Ollie Halsall's dazzling technique'and their energetic live performances. Though they achieved cult status rather than mainstream fame during their brief career (1969'1973), Patto have since been recognized as pioneers within the British progressive scene. Cherry Red Records is renowned for its dedication to preserving classic albums with high-quality remasters and insightful liner notes, making this release an essential addition for collectors and new listeners alike.
