VALENTYNE SUITE COLOSSEUM 21st July 21st 1969
Some of the members of Colosseum went on directly into Greenslade, so there's a measure of continuity.There are four basic albums: Greenslade [title], Bedside manners are extra, Spyglass Guest [something of a hit], and Time and tide.

On a related topic, do you have any of the Greenslade LPs: Greenslade, Bedside manners are extra, Spyglass guest, and Time and tide?
