Description

 

Those Who Are About to Die Salute You - Morituri Te Salutant is the debut album by Colosseum, released in 1969 by Fontana. The title is a translation of the Latin phrase morituri te salutant that according to popular belief (but not academic agreement), gladiators addressed to the emperor before the beginning of a gladiatorial match.

The amazing sax harmonies were created by Dick Heckstall-Smith who regularly played 2 saxes at once. A sad loss to music when he died in 2004.
