COLOSSEUM
DAUGHTER OF TIME

WOW !!!! WHAT AN ALBUM THIS IS, AND A MUST HAVE IF YOU LIKE YOUR JAZZ ROCK FUSION. THIS IS COLOSSEUM WHO WERE FORMED IN ENGLAND IN 1968, AND WHAT A LINE UP THEY HAD FOR THIS THEIR 4th ALBUM RELEASED IN DECEMBER 1970, JON HISMAN, DICK HECKSTALL-SMITH, DAVE GREENSLADE, DAVE CLEMPSON, MARK CLARKE, AND NOT FORGETTING CHRIS FARLOWE, SO VERY IMPRESSIVE INDEED. THIS CLASSIC PLAYS LOVELY, AND COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!     

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS WAS ORIGINALLY 1ST PRESSED IN 1970 ON THE LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL, WHICH IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, AND IS ONE LP I COULD NEVER FIND. THE ONE LISTED BELOW IS A 1971 UK REPRESS ON THE SMALLER VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL, SO THE NEXT PRESS AFTER THE LARGE SWIRL LABEL !!!! 
ORIGINAL 1971 UK REPRESS :: 6360 017  1Y//3  V  420  11 1  :: 6360 017  2Y//1  V  420  11 1 .

ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL :: 6360 017 .
COVER  :: ORIGINAL GATEFOLD, AND IN LOVELY CONDITION, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH SOME LIGHT BITS OF SHELF WEAR, AND A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF VERY TINY WHITE MARKS ON THE FRONT AND NOT THAT NOTICEABLE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO. INSIDE THE GATE, NO ISSUES, AND I WOULD GRADE A BIT HIGHER THAN VG+, SO I WOULD GRADE  :: EX- .

VINYL  ::  THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO NASTY ISSUES, AND THE ONLY THING OF NOTE IS SOME FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 2, AND AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2, BUT I WILL EXPLAIN MORE BELOW...

VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, JUST SOME LIGHT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A SMALL VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE HAIRLINE AT THE END OF TRACK 2, AND START OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2 .

ON SIDE 1... THERE ARE TWO VERY FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK 2, AND A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS, NOT ON THE AUDIO, BUT BWETWEEN TRACK 3 AND TRACK 4 .

ON SIDE 2... THERE ARE TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, AND THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 2, AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 2 AND TRACK 3, AND SOME FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 3, ON THE QUIET INTRO, AND THAT'S ALL !!!! SO A TOUGH AUDIO TO GRADE SO I WILL SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE...

AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 2, AND AT THE START OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2, WITH THOSE TICKS AS MENTIONED, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  VG . 

ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 1, AND ALL OF SIDE 2, EXCEPT, THE VERY END OF TRACK 2, AND AT THE START OF TRACK 3, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  EX/EX+ .  

LABELS ::  JUST SOME FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX .

VERTIGO SWIRL POLYLINED INNER :: NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORIGINAL, BUT THE ONE LISTED IS A VERY NICE NEW REISSUE, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE  :: NEAR MINT .

GREAT JAZZ ROCK FUSION ALBUM, AND REALLY PLAYS WELL, JUST AT THE END OF TRACK 2 AND START OF TRACK 3 WITH THOSE TICKS AS MENTIONED, WHICH ARE NOT LOUD OR INTRUSIVE, SO IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND READ, THEN YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT !!!!
