GOLD IS THE METAL Prototype Booklet
1987 approx 210 x 210mm 18pp loose booklet. Illustrated throughout, printed on cream paper and tracing paper. Tiny loss to spine on rear cover else VG+.
Designed as a booklet to be included with copies of the limited edition box set (55 copies only) of the compilation album Gold Is The Metal With The Broadest Shoulders. This is a prototype in a near finished form, and differs slightly from the final ones that appeared in the box in that the pages are not bound by string. The order of the pages is also slightly different. Mainly visual in nature, there are reproductions of famous Coil related images along with a few lyrics. The front cover has a cut-out in the form of an upside down cross, with a hand coloured image viewable underneath. Included with this booklet is the original envelope with “deluxe booklet art master in ready to print state” written by Balance in black marker pen.
