Scatology is the debut longplay by British experimental band Coil, first released in 1984.
Scatology was released in three different formats with two different covers. For the original LP release, the black sun design that was first put on was pasted over by a postcard with a swirling and descending staircase known as the "Anal Staircase." The second edition had the "Sexual Architecture" postcard pasted on random covers with uncovered ones revealing the original black sun design.
The CD edition featured a cover with the title of the album and an upside-down cross below it, finishing off with the original black sun below everything.

The Scatology demos are a group of recordings by Coil that are unique in form from other versions of the same songs found on Scatology, Gold is the Metal, The Angelic Conversation, and contemporaneous compilations.
Tracks 1, 4-8, 10, 12, and 13 are early or alternate mixes, some quite different; Track 4 misses five minutes of ocean sounds from the beginning. Track 2 is in a greatly extended early version, including a minute-long organ introduction and several verses. Track 9 is an instrumental demo. Tracks 3 and 11 are early vocal demos; the former became "Godhead<=> Deathead", while the latter was re-recorded, the original becoming, in instrumental form, "The Wheal".
