2 LPs on 1 CD. Originally issued on vinyl as THE METAL BOX in England (or 2ND EDITION in the U.S.).
METAL BOX, PIL's second album, arrived in stores in 1979, packaged in a metal can modeled after a film canister. The expensive album, slightly re-sequenced and refitted with a traditional sleeve, was re-released the following year as SECOND EDITION. The 11-minute "Albatross" opens the proceedings, centered upon powerful bass punctuated by spiky guitars.
"Poptones" brings Lydon's vocals to the forefront of the mix as he delivers an elliptical lyric about being driven into the woods and executed while the tune in question plays on the car radio. "Socialist" is a fast instrumental that introduces bubbling keyboards to the bass and drum mixture. Another instrumental, "Graveyard," comes perilously close to a parody of spy/thriller movie themes before being saved by searing guitar bursts. "Bad Baby"'s prominent keyboard line plays over the bass and drums while Lydon intones the tale of a baby abandoned in a parking lot. Far from a cheerful album, SECOND EDITION highlights some of Wobble's most expressive bass playing alongside Lydon's patently off-kilter vocal style and aggressively anti-social lyrics.

The fourth Public Image Limited album is something of a milestone. Spread across its 33 minutes is some of the harshest and least "user-friendly" music ever recorded for a major record company. FLOWERS, the first album following the departure of the band's initial bass player, finds John Lydon largely abandoning guitars in the construction of his songs. The music is mainly comprised of jerking, off-kilter drumming, layered with creepy keyboard effects.
Echoing, buried backing vocals add menace to his uniformly disturbing ...

Richard Hell And The Voidoids: Richard Hell (vocals, electric bass); Robert Quine, Ivan Julian (electric guitar, background vocals); Marc Bell (drums).
BLANK GENERATION is now widely regarded as one of the seminal points in the punk explosion, along with the Sex Pistols' NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS HERE'S THE SEX PISTOLS and The Ramones debut. It is a startling, urgent record filled with the pent-up frustration and nihilistic despair that earmarked the potency of the late ...

Second Edition
$9.25
What to do after fronting the Sex Pistols? John Lydon formed Public Image Ltd, an avant-noise ensemble that took punk's energy into spacier and sometimes danceable directions. This self-titled release, which includes the songs "Low Life" and "Fodderstompf" was one of the opening salvos for post-punk.
Like it or not, Public Image Limited's First Issue (aka Public Image) was an album that helped set the pace for what eventually became known as post-punk. In England a vacuum had opened up in the wake of the breakup of the Sex Pistols in January 1978, and many punk fans and rival groups were impatient to see what ex-Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon aka "Johnny Rotten" was going to roll out next. Disheartened owing to events in his legal proceedings against the Sex Pistols management company Glitterbest, and ...
