COLOSSEUM Live (1971 UK 6-track double live LP, recorded at Manchester University & the Big Apple, Brighton on the Daughter Of Time tour, gatefold picture sleeve with integral plastic inners. Most copies of this that survive have mottling nearthe edge of the discs where the vinyl has reacted with the original foam lining of the plastic inners, this one is no exception. A ridiculous sleeve design that only made it in the wild for two albums before being scrapped as the bad idea it was. As is usual, the sleeve inners are attached to the outer sleeve by sellotape but the sleeve otherwise remains in decent shape with just minor wear. Note: there is a previous owner's name & date penned neatly to a back corner. The vinyl can only be classed as Very Good, with only the mild cosmetic wear to detract from a higher grade. This is still a nice copy of this great album in better than usual condition, available at an advantageous price, showing minimal signs of play coupled with the usual faults of this lunatic sleeve design!
