COLOSSEUM- VALENTINE SUITE LP

SWIRL VERTIGO VO 1 FROM 1969

ORIGINAL VERTIGO INNER

   

Founded by drummer Jon Hiseman

saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith and bass player Tony Reeves in late 1968, Colosseum were a band at the forefront of the new progressive rock scene and were, in many respects, one of the most ambitious groups of the late sixties.

All three had cut their teeth in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers (a band which such luminaries as Eric Clapton, Peter Green had passed through), and to add to this pedigree organ grinder Dave Greenslade and guitarist James Litherland were recruited.

Valentyne Suite has the distinction of being the very first album to be released by the legendary Vertigo Records, the label which was later to give Black Sabbath their debut. What is even more impressive is that Valentyne Suite was released months after their first album came out on Fontana Records. Those About To Die Salute You was received well and even crept up to number 15 in the charts. However that LP falls short of the brilliance of Valentyne Suite, arguably the bands best effort in their short career.

GRADINGS

 

MINT                         The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.  The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.  Records advertised, as Sealed or Unplayed will be mint.

EXCELLENT             The record shows some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks but there will be very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD +         The record may have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only barely detectable crackles or pops.  A slight noise at the beginning is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.  Definitely no scratches or gouges that a touch with a dry finger can feel. The cover may only have the slightest signs of normal wear.

VERY GOOD            The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD                        The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.  The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

ALL RECORDS ARE PACKED IN PROPER MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS
