VERY RARE....ORIGINAL 1971 first press nicely LAMINATED with 'flipback' seams on the highly sought after Swirl Vertigo label that was not around long, 40+ years ago...hardly ever seen these days...

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 really rare 1971 SWIRL VERTIGO ORIGINAL in clean condition

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.
