Description

 

Original and authentic 1st edition of the famous Metal Box album by Public Image Limited from 1979 - in its rare movie-can format.

I have owned this since 1979 and only played it a handful of times. The tin has the PiL logo stamped on the lid, it's a bit tarnished but no rust (see photo), sticker on the back reads - METAL 1. Inside all three 12" vinyl discs are in excellent condition and include original track list and 4 paper dust sheets. I remember queuing up outside the Virgin Records Store on Kensington High St London 30 years ago, waiting for it to open so I could be one of the first to own a copy of PiLs second album in this limited edition three 12" format.

Tracks - ALBATROSS, MEMORIES, SWANLAKE, POPTONES, CAREERING, NO BIRDS, GRAVEYARD, THE SUIT, BAD BABY, SOCIALIST, CHANT, RADIO 4.

A great rare slice of new wave history! 

From a non-smoking pet free home. Outside UK bidders = Paypal only please. International shipping costs may vary. Any questions then let me know. Take a look at my other items.

Good luck!
