Public Image Ltd.- Plastic Box-Special Edition [Import]

Special 2009 four CD edition of this long-deleted 64 track anthology from John ‘Johnny Rotten’ Lydon and PIL. Rising from the ashes of the Sex Pistols in 1978, Public Image Limited were by definition one of the pioneers of Post-Punk groups. With John Lydon’s vocals complemented by ex-Clash guitarist Keith Levene, drummer Jim Walker and the now legendary Jah Wobble on bass, the group created a more Dub-orientated style and their innovative music earned them five UK Top 20 Singles and five UK Top 20 Albums in a period stretching over three decades. Originally released in 1999, the Plastic Box provides a complete overview of the band’s work, including tracks taken from every album together with John Peel sessions, remixes and much more. The first two discs cover the band’s early years while the remaining two discs spotlight their mid and later periods. An excellent look into the music of a band that continues to defy categorization.
