Colosseum / Those Who Are About to Die Salute You
Japan Early Press PROMO LP


Bronze YS – 2757 – BZ ( Nippon Columbia )

Appendices: “Glossy G/F Cover”, “2 Inserts” & “Promo Label”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press PROMO copy ( released in 1972 ) of their 1st album, coming with rare inserts. The gate-fold cover is glossy on the surface of front & back. “SAMPLE” letters are printed in Japanese on each label of disc ( See photo ). One of the insert is the message from Jon Hiseman to Columbia Records, which was issued in limited number for this edition. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item especially with “Jon Hiseman Insert” even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition. It’s slightly scraped on the surface of front & back, with a light scratch on the right of front. Inside gate-fold, it’s stained with light spots ( mainly on its upper portion ). Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. It has none of any scuff, scratch, hairline & spindle-mark on each label, which can be rated as "MINT". No flaw on the groove & label …very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: VG ( black ), which has minor spots in places with ring-crease on each side. / EX+ ( white / Jon Hiseman message )
