Pronto Monto


Pronto Monto is the third album by Kate & Anna McGarrigle, released in 1978. The title is an approximate pronunciation of the French phrase "prends ton manteau", which means "take your coat".
Pronto Monto was produced with a pop polish in order to give it more radio airplay. However, the album did not meet sales expectations, and the sisters were dropped from Warner Bros. Records soon afterward.
For a long time, this was the only McGarrigle sisters album that had never been released on CD, although "NaCl " and "Pronto Monto " were available on other albums. In 2016 the album was finally released on CD by Omnivore Recordings.
