PATTO PATTO
SELF TITLED FIRST AND DEBUT ALBUM !!!!
THIS IS A VERY RARE CHANCE TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS VERY RARE PROG BLUES ROCK MASTERPIECE. NOT ONLY IS IT A FIRST PRESS, IT IS THE EARLIEST VARIANT 'A' OFF THE PRESS, WITH, 1Y//2 V 420  1 1 2 AND 2Y//3 V 420  1 1 4. ALSO COMES IN THE EARLIEST, 'HOWARDS PRINTERS' FULLY HEAVILY TEXTURED GATEFOLD, WITH TRACK 4 ON SIDE 2, WRONGLY CREDITED AS, 'PATTON', WHEN IT SHOULD BE, 'PATTO'.
PATTO WERE A SHORT LIVED PROG ROCK BLUES ROCK BAND FROM LONDON, AND BETWEEN 1970, AND 1973 MADE ONLY THREE ALBUMS, AND THE ONE BELOW THEIR FIRST, AND A BIG DECISION TO PUT UP FOR AUCTION, BUT HERE IT IS, SO A VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 UK EARLIEST 1ST PRESS :: 6360004  1Y//2   1 1 2  ::  6  3  6  004  BV1   1 1 2 .
EARLIEST BECAUSE  1 1 2 / 1 1 4, IN THE RUN OFFS !!
ON THE 1ST PRESS LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL :: 6360 016 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL EARLIEST FIRST PRESS HEAVY TEXTURED GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY HOWARDS PRINTERS (SLOUGH) LTD, WITH TRACK 4 ON SIDE 2 WRONGLY CREDITED AS, 'PATTON', WHEN IT SHOULD BE 'PATTO'. SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH SOME BITS OF LIGHT RUB, AND SOME LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AROUND THE EDGES. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, AND I THINK IT IS BEST TO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE   ::  VG+/EX- . 

VINYL :: PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH A BIT MORE GOING ON WITH TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW, BUT WITH NOTHING NASTY ON THE AUDIO, AND DUE TO HOW RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE THIS ALBUM IS, I HAVE DONE A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION, TO GIVE YOU THE BEST POSSIBLE DESCRIPTION OF HOW IT PLAYS, THANK YOU !!!!

ON SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: THERE ARE TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, AND TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE MIDDLE .

ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

ON SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 3 :: THERE ARE TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START. JUST AFTER THE MIDDLE, THERE ARE SOME FAINT TICKS, I WOULD SAY ABOUT TWENTY, SOUNDS A LOT, BUT HONESTLY NOT INTRUSIVE, SO CERTAINLY NOT LOUDER THAN THE AUDIO, AND FOUR FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SO BASICALLY IT IS TRACK 3 WITH SOME FAINT TICKS AS MENTIONED, AND THE REST PLAYS BRILLIANT.

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME HARMLESS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND A FEW SMALL AND TINY COSMETIC HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF TINY COSMETIC MARKS, WITH TWO ON TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2, A BIT MORE NOTICEABLE, BUT NON FEELABLE, BUT THIS IS WHERE THOSE FAINT TICKS CAN BE HEARD AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. TRICKY ONE TO GRADE, SO I WILL SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE, WHICH I THINK IS THE BEST WAY......

ON SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY NICE :: EX/EX- .

ON SIDE 1 :: TRACK 2, TRACK 3 AND TRACK 4  I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

ON SIDE 2 :: TRACK 3   I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: VG+ . TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE .

ON SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1, TRACK 2 AND TRACK 4  I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

IF YOU ARE HAPPY SO FAR YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHEN YOU PLAY IT !!!!

LABELS :: JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

ORIGINAL VERTIGO SWIRL INNER :: NO SEAM SPLITS, OR WRITING, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING :: VG+ . THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE

A RARE EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESS VERTIGO SWIRL WITH BEAUTIFUL AUDIO, AND THERE ARE SOME COSMETICS AS MENTIONED ABOVE, AND THOSE FAINT TICKS ON TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2 WHICH IS A LONG TRACK, BUT OVER ALL IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS AMAZING AND AS DESCRIBED, AND FULLY COMPLETE !!!!
