The US branch of Island switched the order of the first two tracks around for some reason, it should be "FFW" followed by "STBOR." Makes MUCH more sense that way. And "Mummy" proved so controversial that the Australian branch elected to leave it off altogether.
got a little motown love on this one. as i'm listening to patto i'm noticing they love off rhythms, so it's an interesting rarity for them to play in straight four. this is a great band, man. i love how i keep getting older, but the music from these bands stays the same age.
It's really hard to classify Patto. One can hear jazz, hard rock, R&B, jazz, comedy, and a little prog. The only band that I know that sounds vaguely like them is the Jeff Beck Group with Max Middleton singing. Ollie is a speed demon. I remember Musician magazine once comparing Van Halen's licks with that of Halsall's on their review of the album - 1984
Interesting.I have Singing The Blues On Reds followed by Flat Footed Woman on my copy on side one?Is interesting as your copy has the reverse track listing for the first two tracks,wondering what may be the reason there?If anyone has any additional info on the pressing releases for Roll Em'Somke Em Put Another Line Out please let me know.Classic Album,very happy to have finally tracked down a copy on vinyl.Thanks for posting on YouTube!!
@topofthepopsguy VERY interesting! A friend of mine found a copy of the album in a second hand shop which turned out to be an Australian pressing which didn't have "Mummy" on it!
@topofthepopsguy "Flat Footed Woman" begins both my copies. I'm an Aussie and "Mommy" was new to me on the CD. I first bought the record for a dollar in 1973.
Sold it and bought back the very same copy, with my embossed biro rubbed out name on the cover, from a friend who found it at Salamaca Market. Still played well, but now i have the CD.
My CD copy (like the vinyl before it) has Flat Footed Woman followed by Singing The Blues On Reds (followed by Mummy)... When I play this on my PC using WMP, it lists the tracks the other way around but it is the listing that is wrong!! I am listening to Blues On Reds but WMP lists it as Mummy!! Fuktup, huh?
Love it. There's tons of comments on the internet from people who saw them live about how they blew then main act off the stage (which I don't doubt for one second). Just wish I could have seen them live, and wish they had got the recognition they deserve. John and Clive are still around so spread the word, it's not too late.
Saw them at The Rainbow in 1971 or '72 supporting Joe Cocker. 5 Minutes into their set the power for the amps blew so they did an impromptu acoustic set and comedy routine for about 20 minutes until the power was restored. They blew Cocker off the stage that night.
Heavymetalbebop am very envious you saw Patto Live!What great times that must of been. Not fair, wish I could find a copy on vinyl. Thanks for the great posting!

@topofthepopsguy the US version has the "reversed tracks" running order and yes, apparently somebody decided the Aussies couldn't handle Mummy!

@nickersby Clive probably doesn't remember a thing. Anyway, they are both underatted musicians, man. CRIMINALLY underrated, along with the other two.
