Description

Public Image Limited "Second Edition" double LP, original US pressing on Island Records. Both LPs are very clean - side 2 of Record 1 has some manufacturer production marks, but do not affect play. But to be conservative I've rated the vinyl as EX.
International orders will be sent via eBay's International Shipping Program.
Good luck and check out my other auctions for more alternative / indie vinyl! Another batch of hitters!

Originally released in the UK as a limited edition 3x12" (45 RPM) titled Metal Box, which was packaged in a round metal box.

Warner Brothers in North America didn't want to pay for the extra packaging and triple vinyl, so it was changed to a 2x12" (33 RPM) in a standard gatefold sleeve, and the title changed to Second Edition. Virgin UK used this format & title for a reissue in early 1980 once the original Metal Box sold out.

"Swan Lake" was titled "Swan Lake (Death Disco)" on Metal Box, and is a slightly different version of the track "Death Disco" that was released as a single in June, 1979.

Although the album has a Warner Bros. catalog number, the album cover and labels use the Island logo.

Matrix notes: "STERLING" is stamped, the preceding matrix info is etched.

Different labels than the other Island versions with longer address wrap around the labels.
