Description

Up for auction is a genuine, highly sought-after 1979 UK first-pressing edition of Public Image Ltd’s post-punk masterpiece, Metal Box. This legendary release is housed in its original circular metal film canister manufactured by The Metal Box Company, beautifully embossed with the PiL logo.

The original A5 printed tracklist/info insert is missing.

All 3 LPs are near mint condition with no visible scratches.
At worst they are dusty with the odd finger mark.
The plain white separating sheets are all there.
Maybe some oxidising to the metal tin.

Matrix numbers are

Disc 1: METAL 1-A (Side A) / METAL 1-B (Side B)Disc 2: METAL 1-C (Side C) / METAL 1-D (Side D)Disc 3: METAL 1-E (Side E) / METAL 1-F (Side F) & TY-CBS
