This is an original and a reissue of the 2nd release from Johnny Rottens post Sex Pistols project, Public Image Limited.

‘Metal Box’ was originally released by Virgin Records in November 23rd, 1979 as three 12″ records packaged in a film canister. It was re-released in 1980 as a double LP in a gatefold sleeve under the name ‘Second Edition’. Only 60,000 (50,000 in the UK and 10,000 in the US) of the original ‘Metal Box’ sets were produced.

The second auction is for a sealed copy of the 2006 reissues of ‘Metal Box’. This time Runt Distrobution teamed up with the ’4 Men With Beards’ label and 5000 (all in the US) were produced making it rarer, but not as desirable as the original release.
