Getting scarce and elusive and truly hard to find with immaculate records and all the inserts included. Reputedly 60,000 copies were issued in the metal can format and then only available as a standard double album. This initially came with three 45 rpm records, a two piece metal container, four circular paper dividers and a track list insert - this insert is the most elusive part of this set and often torn or often missing altogether. All pieces in this set are guaranteed ORIGINAL, including the METAL 1 label on the underside of the can tray. 

The metal box has some rust marks on outside and bottom inside. But overall strong condition. - see photo.

four circular paper dividers have some marks on due to storage of lps over time. one has rust marks on one side (coming through)

Original Year of Release: 1979. 

Brief Artist & Album Info: After the demise of the Sex Pistols, John (Rotton) Lydon formed PIL, more alternative rock than punk - it remains one of the most challenging albums from this era. PIL, a five piece band who were: Lydon; Keith Levene; Jah Wobble; Jeannette Lee and Dave Crowe. This was their second album and what a masterful one it is too. This one came in two formats: a standard double album playing at 33.3 rpm, but the original version was pressed as three 12 inch 45 rpm records and was presented in a real steel tin can. 

The ORIGINAL insert is very clean and undamaged a couple of corner semi-creases only.

Postage:          to UK £4.70  sterling

                            to Europe £5.30 sterling
