Colosseum - Those Are About To Die Salute You

 

180-gram vinyl plus insert

Their 1969 debut album!

Limited edition of 750 numbered copies on gold vinyl

Those Who Are About To Die Salute You is the debut album by progressive jazz rockers Colosseum, released in 1969. The title is a translation of the Latin phrase "morituri te salutant," that according to popular belief gladiators addressed to the emperor before the beginning of a gladiatorial match.

Those Who Are About To Die Salute You is coated with the volatile saxophone playing of Dick Heckstall-Smith, the thunderous keyboard assault of Dave Greenslade, and the bewildering guitar craft of James Litherland. Together, Colosseum skitters and glides through brisk musical spectrums of freestyle jazz and British blues. The album reached No. 15 on the U.K. Albums Chart.

Those Who Are About To Die Salute You is available as a limited edition of 750 numbered copies on gold colored vinyl, and includes an insert.
