COLOSSEUM
VALENTYNE SUITE
ORIGINAL EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESS LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL, WITH EARLIEST, 'A PHILIPS RECORDS PRODUCT' ON THE COVER AND ALSO ON THE LABEL !!!!
AMAZING EX+ AUDIO, PLAYS BEAUTIFUL !!!!

THIS IS COLOSSEUM, AND WHO WERE ONE OF THE FIRST, PYSCH BLUES ROCK JAZZ FUSION BANDS FORMED IN 1968 BY JON HISMAN. ALSO VERY INTERESTING THAT THIS ALBUM WAS THE FIRST TO BE RELEASED ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL HENCE ,'VO 1' ON THE LABEL !!!! THIS COMES FULLY COMPLETE WITH SWIRL INNER, AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION, AND A BRILLIANT ALBUM, 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 IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  886 775  1Y*1  420  ::  886 775  2*Y*1  4*0 . 

ON THE 1ST PRESS LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL WITH, 'A PHILIPS RECORDS PRODUCT' ON THE LABEL  ::  VO 1  847 900  VTY .
COVER ::  ORIGINAL EARLIEST 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD WITH, 'A PHILIPS RECORDS PRODUCT' INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, AND IN LOVELY CLEAN AND SOLID CONDITION, WITH NO ISSUES ON THE SPINE OR EDGES, JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE ARE TWO SMALL SURFACE CREASE LINES INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, AND I THINK IT IS BEST TO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION. THERE IS ALSO A NAME WRITTEN INSIDE THE OPENING EDGE, SO ONLY SEEN IF YOU LOOK INSIDE WHERE THE VINYL AND INNER ARE KEPT, AND SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THIS EARLIEST ORIGINAL  :: VG+/EX- .    
VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS OUTSTANDING, WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY, AND ALL I HEARD WAS .... ON SIDE 1 :: JUST TWO FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END OF THE LAST TRACK . ON SIDE 2 :: JUST TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1 . VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, WITH A NICE SHINE, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, JUST SOME FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL COSMETIC TOTALLY HARMLESS HAIRLINES, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO, A VERY, VERY STRONG :: EX+ .
LABELS ::NICE AND CLEAN, JUST A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND A NAME WRITTEN TINY ON SIDE 1 :: EX . 
VERTIGO SWIRL POLYLINED INNER ::  NO SPLITS, OR WRITING, JUST SOME AGEING, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  :: VG+/EX- . 
GREAT ALBUM THAT YOU CERTAINLY WILL ENJOY, AND THE FIRST ALBUM ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!  ROSE .
IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
