This is Colosseum’s debut album from 1969. I have the live album hidden somewhere, so perhaps that will appear as a future post. I also have an album not listed as part of their official discography. It is not a bootleg, but I cannot recall the title. If I find it I will rip/post it. More info on Colosseum at BandToBand.com.
