This is only a discussion topic. No plans to reissue, that I know of, especially since the albums were reissued last year.
The current reissues aren't remastered and the artwork is somewhat different from the originals.
If the albums were to be properly reissued, what would you like to see on them?
Here's my list:
The proper Coroner theme across all the album, like a set. A cohesive theme and one band logo was used on the Celtic Frost reissues in the same way. I would like to see the proper borders and the original artwork for PFD.
While I would love to see pictures of the band, one of the cool things about them was how mysterious these guys were. So maybe the original pics, and some live shots inside. I know they're out there. I don't like how the current version of Mental Vortex does not have the band pics on it.
Proper fonts for the type, as well as the proper background graphics to the insert. I loved the spinning object theme.
Independent commentary.
Commentary by the band, speaking of their individual feelings of the recording, the experience, and everything else. Speaking of how they arrived at the musical and graphical concepts.
Remaster the albums. Load up the discs with extras, especially live stuff and unreleased/deleted stuff and demos.

Edit: Would also love to hear about the Coroner story, as in how they met, where the concepts came from, how they Tommy and Marky found Ron, etc.

I'd like to see all that you mention above, but most especially a remastering of the first 3 albums. By the band, of course. ;D Whoever put R.I.P. on CD didn't get the spacing right between Totentanz and it's outro (as compared to the original vinyl), and that just bugs me! PFD & NMC need beefing up (but not too much tampering of course!). MV & Grin should not be messed with in any way, unless they can be boosted without any loss of the original mix!! They are actually perfect.

Good call. The mixes on the latter are fine. The sound should not be tampered with.
The earlier stuff needs the beefing, while keeping that cold, harsh tone they have.
Perhaps Noise even jerked them around on the song orders. Now that would be amazing to see, coupled with the deleted songs.
This was the case with the CF albums. Noise deleted songs and put them in the order they wanted.

I'm not familiar with the vinyl version. Can you explain further about this? What's the difference? It's no biggie, it's just that on the vinyl version it flows into the outro with a sense of purpose, whereas on the CD it kind of stops, pauses for too long, and then the outro kicks in. It just sounds like whoever put the stuff on CD had no appreciation for what it sounded like originally, and just wanted to make it into an extra track. In doing so they managed to lose the timing. And it just bugs me - because I'm a pain in the ass!! ;D *Shouts at Noise*: R.I.P. has no track on it called 'Outro'!!! It's all part of Totentanz!!

All of the additonal features that were mentioned previously are good ideas. I would say one more thing to make it more attractive to collectors (and to get people to buy all of Coroner's back catalog) is to have a redemption type offer:
Purchase all 6 CD's (R.I.P, Punishment For Decadence, No More Color, Mental Vortex, Grin, and Coroner)
Mail in the voucher from each CD and receive a limited edition box to hold all the remasters, in addition to a 7th disc containing the Coroner: Death Cult demo.

Hmm. I think the way that the Celtic Frost records were reissued would be AWESOME- some commentary, FULL LYRICS, maybe some other bonus stuff. Voivod rereleased "War and Pain" a few years back with COPIOUS amounts of killer bonus stuff, and I think something similar for Coroner would rule.
Also, a reissue of "Death Cult" would kick ass, period. SPIRAL DREAM!

I think you mean actually issued: wasn't Death Cult just "released" as a bootleg?

I'm talking about reissues with incredible amounts of photos, liner notes (from both the band AND T.G. Warrior), old rehearsal and live photos, etc. I just love the tracks, even with their terrible sound quality! The intensity is there, and Tom's death grunts- "UGH!"- just so much fun. Anybody know what songs Ron plays 8-string bass on?
