Metal Box was the second studio album by Public Image Limited. It was released on 23rd November 1979 on Virgin Records.

Perhaps the definitive and most important post punk album and artifact. The NME made it no. 2 in their end of year lists of 1979

Still one of my favourite albums of all time.

22 years ago tonight I attended Joe Strummer’s last ever regular gig that he played at Liverpool University 22.11.02

Who would ever thought that the great man would be dead a month later?

Last 3 songs: Bankrobber / White man in Hammersmith Palais / White Riot

What a finale and I was there

New photo of Joy Division has just appeared. It was taken at Eric’s in Liverpool in 1978 by their first roadie Carl ‘Twinny’ Bellingham.
