Description

PiL Public Image Ltd, Metal Box LP from 1979. Original first pressing. 
This is complete with 4 round paper inserts and the all-important tracklist info with red print. The METAL1 cat no. sticker is present and correct to the rear.
Vinyl looks to be Ex condition although it is only a visual grading. There is minimal spindle wear to labels. All surfaces are shiny and bright, with no visible scratches - it looks a little bit like it might be unplayed, but i cannot vouch for this.

Usual grubby finger marks all over the tin but these  may clean off (i haven't tried) and as standard with these pressings - see last pic for truest representation. At one point the lid has a slight pressure dent (see pic 4).
This is a lovely copy, i have if anything been over-critical with the descriptions so as not to mislead anyone. This set of vinyl is rare, and is now 33 years old of course, so while it is not 'mint' (i would be surprised if there are any 100% copies around due to the metal/greasy paw prints), it is nevertheless in 'really nice' condition, if well handled.
NOTE: Postage is £4.50 as it is metal but that will be recorded. Overseas bidders outside of Europe not in my exclusion list please wait till after auction for invoice, or contact me in advance - it will be a bit more as i only post 'international signed for'.
