Description

PIL‘s 7” vinyl debut release in it's rare original cover sleeve - Newspaper with articles and lyrics for Virgin VS 228

A: Public Image

B: Cowboy Song (w endless/ locked groove)

P.I.L. Public Image (1978) UK 7" vinyl single – a classic debut built around one of the ultimate New Wave guitar hooks, also including the truly bizarre non-album track Cowboy Song, and complete with the delicate wrap around newspaper picture sleeve. The newspaper shows little of its age but the vinyl (despite big surface marks) remains in excellent condition.

Original Virgin release VS228

Record Condition : Excellent, though with unfortunate looking surface marks, the record plays through fine. All these flaws are not significantly audible, thera are no damages to the groove, there are no skips, no hangs. It just sounds excellent. (See close ups for detail)

Sleeve: Excellent / Minor shelfwear and cosmetics due to brittle nature of newspaper (see close photos for detail)

More info on this release:

... this single originally came wrapped in details the ‘lyrics’ (16 lines of “clipy ty clop/clipy ty clop/clipy ty clop”) but they do not appear on the song. Or if they do, they are drowned out by a deafening racket of multi-tracked screaming, talking and general pandemonium. The only distinct sound is that of the bass guitar of John Wardle (aka Jah Wobble) although it’s oddly un-dub and pre-set to ultra-strum. There’s also further stylus-scratching effects just to drive the rest of us up the wall. When the noise finally subsists, only Lydon’s coughing and sputtering of amphetamine-loosened phlegm can be heard -- right before the record picks up after being trapped in the locked-groove. The lyrics should’ve been “Make it stop/make it stop/Make it stop” so that everybody who bought this single in 1978 could sing along.
