Description

This is an original classic punk release from Public Image. This is the METAL -1 3 vinyl disc release from 1979. This is not a re-release. The metal container is free of any dings or dents. It does show tarnish from age, which gives it great character, just like a piece of antique furniture. The vinyl is dead mint. I think I played maybe 1 of the 3 records once or twice. Comes with the records, container and protective paper inserts between each record. I am the original owner.

Quotes:
'Metal Box' was hard work. First, Virgin weren't very sure about the metal package, you know, cost, blah blah blah. So we offered to pay for some of it by reducing our advance from them. Obviously the idea of putting a record in a metal box was a bit unusual. The idea came from film canisters. We all thought video and film was the future. Besides, I've always collected vinyl and this was a really good way of stopping it getting damaged.
- John Lydon, 'Plastic Box' sleevenotes 1999
