PiL. Public Image Ltd. Metal Box. Virgin Metal 1. Read Description!


OK if you just want to OWN it in your collection because of it's novelty value, but this record IS NOT FOR PLAYING. On my Rega Planar the needle got stuck at least 3 times and there is an edge warp on record 3.


All 3 discs are present I just didn't bother to photograph them all!


Surfaces are heavily criss - crossed with lines and scuffs although nothing, strangely, looks that deep. The sound is actually very good but not all tracks will play i.e. on Albatross, Swan Lake, Careering (there may be be others!) the needle gets stuck and the edge warp on record 3 makes it impossible to play the first track at least on each side.


Record 1 has a curious green stain on the red label, almost as if the metal tin has affected it, but could be paint! All other labels are fine.


The paper dividers are present but NOT the A5 track list sheet.


The tin is of course tarnished with some dents. See pics.
