PiL "Metal Box/Second Edition" vinyl re-issue

[655321]

Best $45 I've spent in a record store for a single product in a long time. Original metal film canister packaging, remastered, etc. 45rpm for maximum sound quality. I've owned the CD, US double LP and MP3's of this record and it's never sounded as good. Jah Wobble's bass is as heavy as you'll get outside of a DJ Magic Mike or King Tubby record.

After reading these reviews I guess I should jump in on this one.

I still play my cassette copy of 'Happy?' and thought that a good wrap for Lydon's Pil days. At max volume it stills gets a serious bit of kick-ass going...though one of the same sites you mention said that 'Happy?' (albeit with diff. personnel than orig. band) is heading towards "stadiums...Page" etc. Eh.

Great, great band.
