The long-lost 3rd recording for Warner Bros is now available on CD on the Omnivore label.

"The initial release of this recording co-incided with the birth of my daughter Lily in early 1979 and when Kate & I set off for Europe to do press and media to support it, 3 month-old Lily came along as did our sister Jane. Pronto Monto was a bit of a departure after our first two Warner recordings which tended to be more folky. It is richly-produced by David Nichtern of 'Midnight at the Oasis' fame and sounds quite beautiful, especially Kate's stately 'Stella by Artois'. 'NaCl' made its first appearance on this recording and it's nice to hear Kate's take on the romance between handsome Sodium and fun-loving Chlorine resulting in table salt. Lot was a pillar of the community, his wife a pillar of salt. 'Bundle of Sorrow, Bundle of Joy' written about son Sylvan's arrival into the World sure brings back a lot of very sweet memories." - Anna McGarrigle
