Scatology

~ Release by Coil (see all versions of this release, 10 available)

Annotation

"The Spoiler" is an unreleased alternative version. "Restless Day" is a CD bonus track, originally released on the compilation LP "Devestate To Liberate" (Yang-Ki Records). "Aqua Regis" and "Tainted Love" are CD bonus tracks, taken from the Panic / Tainted Love 12".

"Restless Day" and "Aqua Regis" listed in the wrong order on the cover. The correct tracklisting appears here.

This edition has been "cursed" by Coil due to the fact that Stevo of K.422/Some Bizarre continues pressing it without paying them. An authorized remastered edition was released in 2001.

Catalog number on CD: FFKCD 1
Catalog number on spine: FFKCD1
