I wrote to ask about this at the time, but got no reply. I was thinking the same thing -- did I really have a better copy available than Coil, was the distortion deliberate, or...? > What about the other stuff on Unnatural History?

"Another Brown World" and "Contains a Disclaimer" were the only other tracks available on CD already at the time (well, "The Hills are Alive" also, but I don't have that comp). Those 2 seemed fine to me. I may even have compared them closely, given the distortion on the Hellraiser tracks, but I don't recall. The other tracks were on 7" vinyl, which is a problem to start with, sound-wise. --Mark
