Live One is the legendary recording of Coil's much anticipated performance in April of 2000 at London's Royal Festival Hall (as part of Julian Cope's Cornucopea mini festival).
Whilst there had been abortive attempts at live shows in the early 1980s, this concert is universally considered the veritable Coil live debut.
With a line-up of John Balance, Peter “Sleazy“ Christopherson, Thighpaulsandra and Ossian Brown, COIL took the RFH stage decked out in their custom designed fluffy polar Teletubby suits to perform a supremely hypnotic set, somewhat reminiscent of their seminal Time Machines release but adding variation and tension largely absent from that drone masterpiece. Balance's vocal delivery on “Queens of the Circulating Library“ is still a very controlled but effective affair and quite different from his later manic outbursts.
The show itself as well as the long-out of print and now much sought after 2003 CD release were extremely well received and became the cornerstone of a quick succession of Coil tours in the intervening four short years until Balance's untimely death.
This first ever double vinyl version of this fantastic historic document of the Coil experience has been fully overseen by surviving member Thighpaulsandra and is available now on the Retractor label , presented in a lavish gatefold sleeve and pressed on 180g vinyl.
