Patto ~ Hold Your Fire


Cat#: 6360032Record Label: VertigoCountry Released: UKLabel Info: Medium Swirl Stereo/Mono: Stereo Release Year: 1971 Grading Vinyl Grading EX+ Sleeve Grading G Comments So lets' deal with the elephant in the room, the sleeve only has 1 (and only just at that) of the 3 front flaps. This is the first copy I've ever had but, not surprisingly, I've been told this is a common issue with this design. Please see the pics for details. 

On a much more positive note, I'm glad to say the vinyl is much different story. Visually, it's superb with a nice shine and nothing in the way of obvious marks. I've played this all the way a couple of times and audibly, there's the odd bit of background crackle here and there but very strong throughout.

Vinyl wise, a great example and a nice compliment to an EX sleeve should you have one.   Title(s) / Tracks: Side A Title Side B Title A1 Hold Your FireB1 Give It All Away A2 You, You Point Your FingerB2 Air Raid Shelter A3 How's Your Father B3 Tell Me Where You've Been A4 See You At The Dance Tonight B4 Magic Door
