2009
four CD antology from the British Jazz/Prog/Art Rock band. Pieced
together with the active assistance of band leader Jon Hiseman, Morituri
Te Salutant features extended highlights from Colosseum's original
albums as well as numerous previously-unissued studio and live outtakes,
including BBC session material, the aborted late '60s single `Tell Me
Now' and a host of alternative recordings from the tour that was
immortalised on what many admirers believe to be the band's definitive
work, Colosseum Live. Lavishly packaged with hitherto unpublished photos
and a 10,000 word essay, Morituri Te Salutant is the final word on one
of the most individual and iconoclastic British bands to emerge from
the musical and cultural revolution of the '60s.- Dave Greenslade / organ, keyboards, vocals
