Public Image Ltd.
First Issue
Light In The Attic reissues the pioneering group's debut album 'First Issue'. After the Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten reverted to his real name - John Lydon - and set about forming a band whose very identity kicked against press and media manipulation. Featuring bassist Jah Wobble, drummer Jim Walker and guitarist Keith Levene, his new group were Public Image Limited. PiL were a very distinct prospect from the Pistols, founded with a greater thought for rhythm, and with a sound that turned the page from snarling punk to a more experimental sound fusing rock, dance, folk, ballet, pop and dub. But that's not to say Lydon's new outfit lacked vitriol. Comes on metallic silver coloured vinyl in an expanded gatefold sleeve. Includes lyric insert and an archival newspaper fold-out reproduction.
