The Public Image Is Rotten Songs From The Heart

I saw PiL recently in Chicago and this was a great souvenir of that concert. I particularly enjoyed the DVD of the "promo" videos which were the videos you used to see on MTV back in the 80's. There were also two live concerts on the DVDs, one from 1988 and one from 2013. I also, as others have mentioned, had the problem with disc 2, but I was able to obtain a replacement from UMC at no charge. The replacement takes a while since it is being shipped from Britain. But I tested the replacement and all is well. I certainly appreciate the outstanding customer service that UMC provided.

****UPDATE*** After emailing PiL directly about this problem I received a quick response from umusic.com and the promise of a replacement disk 2, which is in progress. Order this product with confidence of good customer support should you find your disk 2 to be defective. As another reviewer points out, Disc 2 is defective. Virgin won’t help so your sole remedy is to return it for a refund. They should just send a replacement disc. Content is otherwise great so I am not returning but shame on them for knowingly selling a defective product. I bet Mr. Lydon would pitch a fit, kick *** and take names if he knew this was going on.

In my opinion this is a good box set full of PIL songs and includes full live concert's on DVD. I'll review the 7 discs that are included in this set and I will also review the box set overall. I'm not doing an in depth look at everything I'm just briefly going over everything. Disc 1 Singles-1978-2015- The title speaks for itself, it's a compilation of PIL greatest hits from over the years. 5/5 stars Disc 2 B-Sides, Rareities & Radio Sessions- It's a very interesting collection of song's on here where some of the songs I have heard before while others I have not especially the song Turkey Tits. 4/5 stars Disc 3 12'' Mixes & Dance Tracks- This one I'm not that crazy about where a lot of the songs are already on this set and some of the songs aren't that good. This disc includes Death Disco 2 times and This is Not a Love Song 2 times which is a little excessive. 2/5 stars Disc 4 Unreleased Mixes & Tracks- I like this one because the songs on here are not on any of the other discs on this set and the songs are very good and I had no idea that they covered "Kashmir" from Zeppelin. 5/5 stars Disc 5 Live at New York Ritz 1989- Great concert to listen to 5/5 stars Disc 6 DVD - Has PIL promo videos of their greatest hits and also a full live concert in Estonia 1988. 5/5 stars Disc 7 DVD- BBC Archive of PILL performing their songs, and also a full performance in Sydney Australia in 2013. 5/5 stars The box set is of good construction and is made in Germany. Comes with a 2018 concert tour poster, 4 postcards with pictures of PIL, and it also comes with a scrapbook filled with PIL articles from past newspapers and magazines but unfortunately some are hard to read because the printing is so small. The discs don't come in a jewel boxes but instead come in sheaths to put each one in seperately. I would of rather had jewel boxes for the cd's but I'm not going to complain about it. 4/5 stars Overall I think it's a good boxset but I do think they could of added a lot more of their songs such as "The Order of Death" and a whole bunch of others. Instead it's a lot of mixes and different versions of their hit songs and I felt it was a little overkill for me. It was nice to here some rarities and watch PIL full length concerts on DVD. 4/5 stars

I have been a P. i. L. fan ever since I heard Metal Box, and felt that I had to have this collection, and I am not at all disappointed! I like it so much, I bought it twice; the 2nd one was a gift for a friend. I will likely never see the band live, so the live coverage of concerts is great! This is a MUST for all die-hard Public Image Limited fans like myself...

I love PIL and have followed them for decades. I was lucky to see them several times. PIL has gotten better and better over the years. This box set is a good deal of enjoyable products from CD's to DVD's. If you like PIL, you must get this set now.

Great set. Love the Live recording. Great gift to self, or any PIL lover.

For all fans; this is another gem!

Great collection. Although any PiL fan may have most of the content, it’s still full of great & unusual tracks & video. Disc 2 did have a mastering error that others have mentioned, but I contacted Universal Music and had a replacement in less than two weeks.

Very comprehensive set. Essential for collectors and a great starting point for those who have no PiL in their collections. The DVD's are great too.

Ottimo prezzo per la versione in cd. Bello il cofanetto rifinito bene. Incluso anche un dvd e un album fotografico. Nota negativa la qualità delle versioni live ma consideratelo un extra di cui si può fate a meno.

For me the cornerstone of this release was having the Enmore Sydney concert that I attended. But there is a mass of other material if you enjoy Mr. Lydon's post Sex Pistols output. Taking in decades of studio and live work. If you are a rabid fan you have the studio stuff anyway. But there is enough alternate material here to keep even them happy.

Alles was ein Fan braucht...coole Bilder auch dabei...😊
