Description
PIL METAL BOX COLLECTORS ITEM! THIS AN ORIGINAL 1980 RELEASE WITH THE METAL 1 STICKER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FILM CAN AS WELL AS IN THE GROOVE MATRIX. IT STILL HAS THE ROUND PAPER DiVIDERS, HOWEVER IT NO LONGER HAS THE PRINTED INSERT. THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT COLLECTIBLES FROM THE POST PUNK ERA. FRESH FROM THE BREAK UP OF THE LEGENDARY PUNK PIONEERS THE SEX PISTOLS JOHNNY LYDON FORMALLY ROTTEN SET OUT TO PROVE WHO THE REAL MUSICAL GENIUS WAS. NOT SID VISCIOUS (RIP) NOT MALCOLM MCCLAREN NOT THE REST OF THE REMAINING MEMBERS. THE TRUE FORCE OF MUSICAL TRAIL BLAZING WAS JOHNNY ROTTEN. HE PUT PUBLIC IMAGE TOGETHER AND PROVED HE WAS THE MAN. THE METAL BOX RELEASED IN 1979 IS A THREE DISC SET OF UNPARRELLED BRILLIANCE. IT WAS CLOSER TO DUB REGGAE THAN PUNK ROCK AND WAS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY KRAUTROCK ACTS LIKE CAN AND NEU AND WAS LIKE NOTHING ELSE AROUND. IT FEATURES AMBIENT BASS HEAVY GROOVES WITH KARL BURNS FROM THE FALL AND THE INFAMOUS JAH WOBBLE ON BASS WITH LYDONS SCREACHING VOCALS AS A COUNTER POINT. THE METAL BOX HAS SURFACE TARNISH AND SOME SCRATCHES, BUT NO DENTS OR DINGS. THE VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE ESPECIALLY FOR ITS AGE AND PLAYS WITHOUT ANY SKIPS OR POPS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE LET ME KNOW I WILL ANSWER ASAP.
