Colosseum
BBC Sessions 1970/1971

This is a collection of radio sessions Colosseum did for the BBC. Surprisingly only a handful of tracks (from 1969 sessions) have been included in official releases. Of course, these have been omitted here.

This collection was compiled from several sources in memory of the late Jon Hiseman who sadly passed away four weeks ago following a brain tumor surgery. Please read the New York Times orbituary here:

All of this recordings had been here earlier. I thought it would be nice to have them all in one place.
