PUBLIC IMAGE LTD PIL "COMMERCIAL ZONE" 1984 RARE TEST PRESSING

The 1984 release of "Commercial Zone" by Public Image Ltd. is arguably one of the most sough-after records. Released only in the US, this 9-song EP was literally pulled within 12 hours after it was distributed, due to a conflict between PIL's management and Important, the US distributor. Most albums were 'reclaimed' but several still made it out and in the hands of collectors.

Featured here is an exceedingly rare test pressing of this EP, complete with an original photo copy, featuring (in hand writing) the A/B side  track list. The record has never been played and is in MINT condition. The sleeve is overall in pristine shape as well. Without question, this is one of the coolest PIL (Sex Pistols) collectibles one could own!
