Released in 1969 on the FONTANA label, I am offering today this Original first UK pressing of this classic album by COLOSSEUM titled "THOSE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE SALUTE YOU". The album is in near mint barely played condition. You will go a long way to find a cleaner copy.

The album comes complete with its original laminated gate fold sleeve which is in excellent condition with fully legible spine.

I have just played this through for these listing purposes and it plays through nicely. Needless to say absolutely no sticks or skips etc. A nice playing example.

The VINYL, The Vinyl visually & audibly is in near mint condition. I have just played it through and can state that it plays nicely with absolutely no nasty sticks or skips etc. Overall this is a very nice playing example. 

The SLEEVE, The laminated gate fold sleeve is in clean condition with no splits or unwanted writing etc and fully legible spine.    

The LABELS, The Fontana labels are very clean, showing minimal spindle traces. Needless to say they are free from unwanted writing or stickers etc

The INNER, The generic inner sleeve is clean and free from unwanted writing or splits etc.

I try to be accurate in my grading as I know what its like to buy miss graded items but won't insult you by writing song lyrics etc. If you feel I have not described this correctly I am happy to refund you providing I receive the item back in the same condition as it leaves me, But I can only refund one lot of postage, 
 

THIS RECORD WAS PLAY TESTED ON A LINN AXIS THROUGH A MUSIC FIDELITY AMP

I always aim to be as accurate as possible with my grading. If in doubt, I tend to err on the side of caution - believing it better 

to have a customer who is pleasantly surprised than a customer who is mildly disappointed. As a collector myself, I know 

how annoying and frustrating it is to discover a seller was over generous in their description of an item.

I won't insult your intelligence by writing out song lyrics. Nor will I include a detailed synopsis (pasted verbatim from 

Wikipedia) about the band and how they met. I will, however, always include photographs that highlight any flaws I have 

described. Nothing will be a surprise. If, after all this, you feel the item is not what you expected, for whatever reason, I am 

happy to refund you in full providing the item is returned to me in a timely fashion in the same condition it left me. Return 

postage will be covered by the buyer. 


SYSTEM USED: DUE TO THE LACK OF TIME NOT ALL RECORDS CAN BE PLAY TESTED BUT THOSE THAT ARE,  ARE 

PLAY TESTED ON A LINN AXIS THROUGH A MUSIC FIDELITY AMP. 

ALL ITEMS COME FROM A SMOKE AND PET FREE HOME.
