Coil ubu noir


Scatology is the first LP and second produced by Coil.

Contents

Scatology was released in three different formats with two different covers. For the original LP release, the black sun design that was first put on was pasted over by a postcard with a swirling and descending staircase known as the "Anal Staircase." The second edition had the "Sexual Architecture" postcard pasted on random covers with uncovered ones revealing the original black sun design.

The CD edition featured a cover with the title of the album and an upside-down cross below it, finishing off with the original black sun below everything.

    Tracks 1, 4-8, 10, 12, and 13 are early or alternate mixes, some quite different; Track 4 misses five minutes of ocean sounds from the beginning. Track 2 is in a greatly extended early version, including a minute-long organ introduction and several verses. Track 9 is an instrumental demo. Tracks 3 and 11 are early vocal demos; the former became "Godhead<=> Deathead", while the latter was re-recorded, the original becoming, in instrumental form, "The Wheal".
