Queens of the Circulating Library

Part one of "a continually mutating series of circulating musickal compositions".

Initially limited to 2000 copies in a clear grey clamshell case, sold at Coil's live performance as Time Machines at the Royal Festival Hall in London on April 2nd, 2000. The performance featured Peter Christopherson, John Balance, Thighpaulsandra and Simon Norris (Cyclobe) and was entitled "The Industrial Use Of Semen Will Revolutionise The Human Race".

Copies remaining after the show were made available via World Serpent, along with an additional 1500 copies packaged in a pink clamshell case.

The music was created by Thighpaulsandra and John Balance, and Thighpaulsandra's mother, opera singer Dorothy Lewis, recites the lyrics especially written by John Balance for "her and for mothers everywhere".
