Back in 1979, Warner Bros. scrapped the release of Public Image Ltd.’s debut album, First Issue, in the United States — even after John Lydon’s band re-recorded parts of it for that expressed purpose. Now, that version of the album is finally getting a US release exclusively for Record Store Day 2025.
Coming from Rhino, this special edition is limited to 5,500 copies at participating retailers and features alternate artwork from the original UK release. See more details below.
