Extremely rare signed limited edition of Transparent by Zos Kia/COIL - ESKATON 017. 
The green vinyl edition was limited to 140 but only 100 of these were signed and this one is numbered 75 and signed on the back by Jhon Balance and Peter Christopherson in Black Marker.
Other identifiers: 
"Killed in Action" - etched on Inner Groove of Side 1 "Zone of Souls" - etched on Inner Groove of Side 2

IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING.
Being an enthuastic Coil fan, I played this vinyl a few times and an unfortunate accident with the cueing mechanism on my (old turn table) deciding to break down at the worst possible moment, left a nasty scratch at the very beginning of side one which I have included in the photos above. 
This has left this record with a horrible persistent click that plays during the pre-amble when the live performance is just beginning; so from starting from the very beginning of Side 1 the click lasts for 1 Minute and 30 Seconds but then goes and the rest of the record plays Very Good Plus using Record Collectors Grading:
"VG+ = Better than Very Good: Obviously been played but no significant deterioration in sound quality despite light surface marks."
Personally, I think it plays Excellent apart from that 1 Minute and 30 seconds but I have been very cautious on the grading because many collectors have super sensitive needles that may pick on stuff I can't hear on my more moderate sound system so that is what I am going with.
Now having been open and as clear as I possibly can, please do not bid for this item if this puts you off as I will not be accepting any returns having made every reasonable effort to be as Transparent (please excuse the joke) with the sale of this item. 
Having said that, this is still a much sought after collector's item that is now going for £500 plus when I last checked and only one of 100 that exist which is why I will start the bidding at the price I paid when the record was first issued via Eskaton label: £30. 
I still remember how excited I was when this arrived in the post and, despite the flaw, I admit that I would not be parting with this now if I didn't need the money. 
The sleeve cover is in Excellent condition with only a very slight wear on the top right corner on the sleeve opening. The Insert is also include and also in Excellent condition.
