Pieced together with the active assistance of 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 Sixties single 'Tell Me Now' and a host of alternative recordings from the tour that was immortalised on what many 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 Lavishly packaged with hitherto unpublished photos and a 10,000 word essay, Morituri Te Salutant is the final word on one of the most individual and iconoclastic British jazz/rock/blues bands to emerge from the musical and cultural revolution of the Sixties.
Brooding Rockabilly at its finest. A talented songwriter and vocalist, Jack Scott was at once the master of implied menace, Rock'n'Roll swagger and edgy attitude. With their mesmeric beat and deceptively simple lyrics, Scott's records set him apart from his peers, while his rich baritone had the power to convey both mournful solemnity and glib ambivilence. Hypnotically percussive and with more than a hint of truble brewing, Scott's sound was highly unique and he remains a true Rock’n’Roll original. Covering the period 1957-59, this collection features the best of his recordings for the Carlton label and includes 'My True Love', 'Leroy', 'Goodbye Baby' and 'The Way I Walk' , plus his first singles for ABC-Paramount and a selection of EP tracks.
