Traders Den 12/2/18 - Transferred and Tracked by kingrue upload 1722
................................................................................................................

For the first time, this is the most complete version available.

I did use the older source as a filler patch for 2 small areas.

Track 1 "Radio Introduction" is patched from the Akai MCR source
Track 2, the first 11 seconds are patched from the Akai MCR source.

This new DAT transfer includes James Litherland introducing the band mambers, before "Butty's Blues".

Also noted that "Valentyne Suite" is properly split into 3 parts.

This also contains the addtional track "Stormy Monday" as the final song in the early set.

------------------------------------------------------------

Valentyne Suite was the second album released by the band Colosseum.

It was Vertigo Records' first album release, and reached number 15 in the UK Albums Chart in 1969.

Valentyne Suite was originally written with "Beware the Ides of March" as the final movement,

but since that title had already been released in the UK on Those Who Are About to Die Salute You,

"The Grass is Always Greener" was substituted for the final movement in the UK release.
