Public Image Ltd. Identity Factory LP '79 TEST PRESSING #d 4/5 Sex Pistols MINT
Description
PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED
"IDENTITY FACTORY" LP
SUPER RARE TEST PRESSING
ONLY 5 EXIST
HAND NUMBERED #'d 4 / 5
Features an excellent looking and totally unique test pressing-only sleeve with alternate custom artwork! Label features handwriting that denotes the catalog number "DRK-228", that it's limited edition number 4 of out 5, and the fact that it's a test pressing. Features an alternate cover that is supposedly very different from the actual release. This cover shows a facsimile fingerprint file for John Lydon including a reproduction of his signature along with his vital stats! Very cool!
Here is some information that I gathered about this release that has yet to surface:
"On June 18th, 1979, Public Image Ltd. traveled north to Manchester to perform two songs for broadcast on Granada Television. That afternoon John Lydon contacted Tony Wilson (then working as a broadcaster for Granada TV, later the founder of Factory Records) and expressed interest in playing a spontaneous gig later that evening. Immediate arraignments are made and news is spread by word of mouth and the band is on stage later that night at the Russell Club (soon to be renamed “The Factory”). This was a truly historic and significant performance because it was drummer Richard Dudanski’s live debut (he had been in the band for a few weeks) and the first time the group ever played material from their soon-to-be-released classic “Metal Box” album in front of an audience. You can literally hear the new material coming together as the band performs these tracks live for the first time. This album is sourced from the original soundboard cassette master and sounds excellent."
