Colosseum is a pioneering British progressive jazz-rock band, mixing progressive rock and jazz-based

 improvisation. The band was formed in September 1968 by drummer Jon Hiseman, tenor sax player Dick

 Heckstall-Smith and bass player Tony Reeves, who had previously worked together in John Mayall's

 Bluesbreakers on the Bare Wires album. Dave Greenslade, on organ, was immediately recruited, and the

 line-up was completed by Jim Roche on guitar, although Roche only recorded one track before being

 replaced by James Litherland, (guitar and vocals). Hiseman and Heckstall-Smith had also previously

 played in Graham Bond's band, and Colosseum utilised several of the songs from that period.

This is their brilliant first and debut album, and is in fantastic condition.
