Public Image Limited - Paris au Printemps. Bought this finally last year, but taken me ages to get to it properly. Despite Lydon's exhortions not to buy it because it's rubbish, it really isn't. Closer Poptones is particularly good. "Wobble would not appear on another PiL album, sadly."

That album was my major in to early PiL, so have an amazing soft spot for it. Think it's a pretty darn fine performance too. Poptones and Careering are amazing. Much better than Live in Tokyo that's fer sure. What a pitiful performance that is. Mind you, the guy who calles out 'Wanker Shitter' on the Paris Au Pertemps always puts a smile on my face.

First Pil record I ever bougt was the 7" of Flowers of Romance', and then the album of the same name. My mate Charlie called me wierd, as he said that it was such a strange place to get into PiL. Dunno, still really rate that record. Last album by them I really enjoyed was the 'Album/Cassette' one (1986?) with Rise/ Home on etc... I know it was all a bit hair metal/ Steve Vai by then, but for me there is a a real power to that record, plus those middle east overtones were a nice direction to the music.
