Patience for Impatience

I've slowly but surely been adding to my Coalesce collection over the past year. As much as I love the band the fact I've owned their stuff on various formats before means I'm just picking them up on vinyl as and when the mood or price takes my fancy.
This is the 4th Coalesce full length to be added to my collection but it's actually my favourite album by them Functioning On Impatience.
It looks fantastic too with a clear sleeve and card sleeve cover overlapping and combining to make a really interesting looking record sleeve. I've tried to capture that as best as I can below. No idea what pressing this is. Standard black vinyl but the cover more than makes up for that.

  1. This is definitely an original 90s pressing. Any copy with the vellum overlay (the clear plastic tracing paper type sheet) is the 90s press. It got reissued for its 10 year anniversary, and even though the same label released that version, it was pressed on all kinds of horrible splatter vinyl colours, and the sleeve is different. The sleeve is kinda cool on the reissue, but the vinyl is horrible.

  2. Nice one Marcus. I knew it was from the 90's rather than a later reissue but there were a few different presses right? Your probably got more idea than me

  3. Yeah, there were a few pressings. Check out the Second Nature website. It's all on there. I would guess there is literally no difference between the 1st, 2nd or 3rd pressings on black. I have one copy of this one. On green. Got it when it came out. I still remember taking it out of the mailer and being blown away by the quality of the packaging, and loving the green colour of the vinyl. Think I may have to play it now...
