• Track Listing

Colosseum was evolving and recording at a prolific pace at the top of their career; they put out this sophomore album late in ’69, less than a year after their debut LP arrived. The first release on the Vertigo label spent nine weeks on the UK album charts and is regarded by many as Colosseum’s shining moment: the prog-rock milestone "Valentyne Suite" plus "Elegy," "The Machine Demands a Sacrifice" and more. You also get the bonus song "Tell Me Now" (recorded in April 1969) plus the U.S/Canada-only 1970 LP "The Grass Is Greener," which contains remixes versions of "Valentyne Suite" songs plus tracks not released in the UK!
