Coil – Love's Secret Domain

This first press German version sounds and looks great. I'm fairly familiar with LSD, and have the recent Wax Trax LP with extended and additional songs, but happy I have this as a companion. This flows really well as an lp and it doesn't feel like it's missing anything. Highly recommend for the heads out there. COIL FOREVER

This 24-bit 96kHz remaster sounds great. The clarity and dynamics are perfect, as are the mix and mastering. I can easily follow the little squiggles in the sound effects. If you could pull out the master tape at home any time you wanted this is probably what it would sound like. Some of the special effects appear to start directly to my side, travel cross the speakers, and end up on my other side. This ability seems to be a big advantage that 24-bit 96kHz has over 16-bit 44.1 kHz, due to the extra information available - just guessing.

Great remaster of a great album, silent too.. get it! X x x

I have a handful of versions of this album now (including the original cd), and this is the cleanest, most dynamic audio of all of them. The original stand-alone LP, with the best sound yet, makes this THE keeper of the bunch.

Stunning pressing!! Use technics MK7 with Audio Technica Shibata & Denon PMA 720E Amplifier with Magnat 202 Supreme. Absolutely gorgeous in everything. Details, clean sound :)

I read the comments here just before finally taking tome to listen to this, and, it was all pleasure and no disturbances at all - .....until, and here I confirm BIZOM-FUTE 's comment, halfway through, anomalies were introduced. At first I was thinking "it might be part of recording process", but no, the slithers and broken tape cricketing even continued into the runout groove! The last last minute was really bad.
Then again, up until F4 all was perfect, I love this 3xLP edition with excellent extra material, no fillers there, and the blue/clear splatter adds an astounding effect. As I also bought the Gold and Opaque Blue editions, the Blue had no anomalies on F4. It was just perfect. I cleaned my clear/blue vinyl 3 repeatedly with my cavitation wet clean, but to no avail. I'm pretty sure that this is a bad plating, and that all copies pressed from side F with this plate are suffering from the exact same problem. It could well extend beyond this 200 copies edition as I guess they press more than 200 copies with one plate?

So, yes, it's a bummer but would I change the this for a non clear/blue edition? This looks like the most beautiful edition, so, with only half a bad track, I have to accept the bad with all the good that's presented here. Again, I don't think that there are any copies of this edition that are unaffected.

I have a NM copy for sale, pm if interested.

dis is fuckin awesome! i'm lost for words words words

Can anyone explain/clarify why this is described as a "deluxe hardcover sleeve"? I have this and it's thickness is no different then a standard sleeve. My copy was a preorder, the sleeve is triple gatefold, gold vinyl, poster is ncluded, and barcode matches. Is my copy a defect or is "hardcover" a misleading description?

The record sounds fantastic but I was a bit disappointed by the flimsy sleeve considering how it was advertised.

My (sealed) copy didn't contain the two stickers mentioned in notes.
