Coil – The Ape Of Naples 2LP
Label: Important Records
Genre: Dark Ambient, Industrial, Avant-Garde
Mint, unplayed, factory sealed copy of Coil classic The Ape of Naples 2LP. 2016 reissue via Important Records (IMPREC), cut from the original approved masters and with an etching on side D.
As this is sealed we're unable to confirm the exact colour. The barcode on the back of the album does not match the black pressing of this record. No barcode information exists for the red translucent pressing, but due to the mismatch we believe it to be this version of the record.
The Ape of Naples is Coil's highly celebrated final album completed by Peter Christopherson following the tragic death of Jhonn Balance in 2004. Often noted for being a fan favorite, The Ape of Naples uses Balance's final recordings and material recorded at Trent Reznor's studio in New Orleans to create a deep, heavy masterpiece.
This re-press is packaged in a heavy duty jacket with Ian Johnstone's original artwork coated in a custom spot gloss. Each LP is housed in a printed inner sleeve and side D contains all three original etchings. Ape's lyrics are spread across the gatefold.
