This is completely out of my interest but another 5 titles from punk godfathers undergoing hi-resolution release in near future.

I woul welcome any hints from members which one of the five is the best or what you recommend for purchase.

John Lydon was never my favourite musician and being subject of these new releases hardly change anything on that.

Metal Box (the second album from 1979) is the masterpiece, although the first is also worthwhile.
PiL have even got a new album out!

PS: PiL is not punk, don't expect any Sex Pistols off-shoot. It's more dub-influenced, and completely original. Lots of deep bass, weird atonal guitar parts, and Lydon-specific chanting.

Thanls. I would give Metal box a try. U am aware of "Specific" Lydon chant and he together with Tom Waits belongs to my top 10 enemies in music.
