Regarding ''Grass is Greener'' , I found for this album, on Dunhill official discography list , as the year of release to be 1970 ;  however, I agree that positioning here is more important. 

I possess ''Valentyne Suite'' LP issued on Bronze records, which means second UK pressing from the year 1972 (the first one was on Vertigo 'spiral' from 1969) on which there is no usual listing of performers (musician+instrument) , but only Jon Hiseman's slereve notes describing each track.According to this, the line-up is : Dave Greenslade,Dick Heckstall-Smith,James Litherland,Tony Reeves and Jon Hiseman.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

As the one who introduced this particular album I can definitely tell you this says 1969 on the album as the release year, but I agree that it should be in third position after FTWAATD and TVS

There are some problems in the line-up of otheralbums and I will PM about this

I've changed the date, but cannot change the order. I'll PM M@X to fix that.

Thanks, bsurmano.

Colosseum's  'Grass Is Greener' album should be put in their discography list on a third position (after 'Valentyne Suite') and with the 1970 as the year of release.
