Limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on gold coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Colosseum, an English jazz rock band, played a pivotal role in the commercial acceptance of jazz rock in the UK. Formed in 1968, their album Valentyne Suite showcased a departure from their blues roots towards progressive rock. It is widely regarded as their best and remains highly enjoyable. A fun fact is that the riff from "The Kettle" was used in Fatboy Slim's "Ya Mama."
