Pronto Monto

1978 studio album by Kate & Anna McGarrigle

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". The album did not meet sales expectations, and the sisters were dropped from Warner Bros. Records soon afterward.[citation needed] In 2016, the album was released on CD by Omnivore Recordings.[1]
