Formed in 1970 band Patto produced an interesting mix of catchy rock riffs, unusual time signature changes, incredible guitar solos, ass-kicking vocals, jazz workouts and humor. Absolute fantastic! For one reason or another, however, it never earned them the recognition many feel they deserved. Not only for their first self-titled LP, also for this second album Hold Your Fire, which is centred around the rough vocals of Mike Patto together with the virtuoso guitarist Ollie Halsall. And on top: Original UK Vertigo copies with one of the greatest cover art work ever, of course designed by Roger Dean!
