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


Bronze YS – 2757 – BZ ( Nippon Columbia )

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1972 ) of their 1st album, coming with rare inserts. The gate-fold cover is glossy on the surface of front & back. One of the inserts 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, except for lightly worn right-edge. It’s slightly scraped with a light scratch line on the surface of front & back. Small handwritten date is in the right bottom hand inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, strip, dent & stain...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: VG ( black ), being lightly rippled on the surface of each side. / VG ( white / Jon Hiseman message ), being with an oblique folding crease in the left bottom corner.
