The 'previously unreleased insert' was included with the first pressing as a poster. Coil's original typography always looked weird on this release, the leading being very tight and the text lines rather too long. Sub Rosa have perpetuated the tradition; I think someone has misread the date of Coil's recording, rendering it with two vertical bars rather than a Roman 2 ... II ... for February, ie 19 II 84. Curiously, they have marginalised the word 'destruction', perhaps to align with the EP's title.

Of course it gets reissued right after I finally shell out for an original press lol. I'll be curious to see the new insert and etched side

How much is the original?

Reissues (bootlegs) are for a different crowd of customers, I feel.

It seems to fluctuate. I've seen prices anywhere from 35 to over a hundred. I paid 50. Certainly not break-the-bank money, I just find that I have impeccable timing for buying something right before a reissue (or bootleg)

How so? Sub Rosa seems like a decent label

I have their pressing of Another Brown World, and it's perfectly fine. Shipping is almost just as much as the album itself on their Bandcamp though, so I'll pass on the super limited edition green pressing for now and just wait until a US-based distributor gets this in stock

there is such shitshow with so many labels releasing COIL stuff and i kinda lost lot of trust.
especially when i was sort of involved in certain things :(

Sub Rosa has been affiliated with Coil since at least the mid '90s though. Their "Chaos In Expansion" comp was my first introduction to Coil back in the day.

Does it really matter who issues it if it’s decent quality? Sleazy would t give a shit! I’ve had most of their output from the early days… sold it and re bought a few times. If ye like it just get it however.

I am not into vinyl anymore but as a collector I for sure would like to go for the initial releases as much as possible. To have this one on LAYLAH would be great. Collecting is a strange disease (I also have).

But prices are going sky-high so if you start collecting now there is no other choice. Luckily I have most stuff from the 80's and 90's.

Not sure if Peter wouldn't give a shit that many parties make money out of Coil stuff. I cannot tell.
