( PIL ) Public Image Ltd. / Second Edition ( Metal Box )
Japan Orig. 2LP


Columbia YB - 7006 ~7-AX

Appendices: "Original OBI", "G/F Cover", “Fold-Out Insert" & “Fold-Out Poster”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1980 ) of their debut double album, comin' with complete appendices. Though the bottom-rim of front cover reads as “SECOND EDITION”, this gate-fold cover is the 1st press in Japan ( metal box cover album was not released in Japan ). Spine-edge reads as “METAL BOX” but no texts of “SECOND EDITION”.

An enclosed poster was issued only for Japanese 1st press. It's hard to find Japanese copy of this double album in complete shape even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/NM/NM- ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer edges. Light ring-wear is in part on the surface of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC 1/2: Both discs are nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. Disc 1 has a few spindle-marks on each label, while a few to several on each label of Disc 2. Otherwise each disc has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as “NM". No flaw on the groove of both… very clean discs, we guarantee you.

OBI: VG+, being lightly tanned on the top-rims of each side.

INSERT: G+, being lightly tanned on the surface of each side.

POSTER: VG ( still unused ), being lightly tanned in part on the blank surface, while being clean in the front.
