Colosseum

Colosseum Alpha Listing Complete title listing for UK/US 45s/LPs.

Trackitis Strikes Again By 1969, thought this cross-pond disease had been eradicated. Not so. The first two albums were hosed. Valentyne Suite has a different third sections in the UK and US releases. The US used Beware The Ides Of March, but the UK version used The Grass Is Greener as they had already used Beware on their first album. And there are several tracks issued here that didn't appear in the UK until Collectors Colosseum in late 71, with some changes (see here ). Plus, a couple of UK tracks not issued here. C'mon guys! Finally, some of the tracks from the early UK albums are now orphans, as the changed tracks are on CD.

Dick Heckstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman from John Mayall
