Pronto Monto is a 1978 album by Kate and Anna McGarrigle. The title is a roughly phonetic pronunciation of the French phrase "prends ton manteau", which means "take your coat".
Pronto Monto attempted to give the sisters' sound more of a pop polish in order to give them more radio airplay. However, the album did not meet sales expectations, and the sisters were dropped from Warner Brothers Records soon afterward.
It is the duo's only album which has not been released on CD.
