I have one for sale, if anyone interested. contact me!

Jonide

It's a fine release. Pros: clean sound, well pressed for standard thickness, gatefold is well made. Cons: scratched out on matrix of all 4 sides, typo in rear cover track list, lacks mastering depth and warmth. An easy way to go if you don't have the original cd and like spinning records. Order the real thing from Important Records. They've once again repressed Ape & New Backwards from the original masters which will be many steps above this ripped bootleg.

Varshav

For a boot, this is stirling. No warp, distortion or Anything else people are seeming to niggle about. Worth every cent in my books. My copy is very punchy and clearly it has been ripped from cd. The only flaw is that the second disc is recorded about 6-10db higher than the first.For those who want the guilty pleasure...go forth and purchase. Next to an official coil release...the difference is next to unoticeable.

Ygglune

Decent quality sound, well pressed. Being Russian and having seen some new records around I wouldn't even really say it's made locally.

Unereel

Almost 40 euros for a unofficial release/bootleg? Are you serious?

Dukinos

From the Important Records Twitter:2015-09-10 12:33:55 UTCWorking on a re-press 2LP version of Coil's Ape Of Naples using the original lacquers and plates. Don't buy the Russian bootleg.

Drelalak

Well...I did buy the bootleg...but also bought the official release of Imprec. What can I say. The Russian boot does not have all the pops and cracks the official version has. Nevertheless glad is has been rereleased.

Nagor

pre-orders available this afternoon from IMPREC. X O X

Warianys

Someone as new information about this press? It's a must have in vinyl.

Rude

New Backwards is going to be repressed as well. https://twitter.com/imprec/status/684377378315972608

godlike

What a great news. I suppose we can safely assume New Backwards will be repressed as well.

Shakanos

Definitely a good release. The record has some minor marks but it seems well pressed. I find the sound quite satisfying and precise although i'd like it to be more "punchy". The inner slives are just basic paper but the packaging is very interesting. Go for it!

Mpapa

Very satisfying release. This guilty pleasure goes highly recommended.

Jack

Anyone know if this is is worth getting? What's the quality of the vinyl?

Shadowredeemer

Disc 1 is warped slightly...plays through fine though. Overall sound is excellent!! Sounds even better than some of my official Coil vinyl releases.
