The final disc in the CD version contains material from two seven-inch singles which feature in the vinyl box set.

The first seven inch features ‘Lieber Herr Deutschland’, the demo recording the band sent to Polydor in 1971 (eventually issued as the B-side to their single ‘Baby’) while the second is ‘So Far’, the very first Faust single on Polydor (originally issued in 1972).

Colosseum - The Reunion Concerts 1994 (2020/FLAC)

 

One of the most influential of the early British progressive rock bands, Colosseum fused an adventurous approach to rock with strong jazz and blues influences and classical keyboard accents; they earned a loyal and lasting following though they never scored a major breakthrough hit. On June 24th 1994, Colosseum played their first concert together for 23 years. 

Jon Hiseman said ‘Despite many requests from fans and promoters over the past couple of decades, I never seriously considered reforming the original Colosseum. But the release of all the albums on CD in the early ’90’s was extremely successful and generated a lot of new interest in the band. When Dave, Dick, Clem and Chris ganged up on me in 1993 it became clear there was no escape. A date was set and I found Mark in America and we all met up in my studio on June 17th 1994 and I gave the count in for ‘Those About to Die’. We played as if the band had never been apart’.
