Public image Ltd, First issue UK CD issue.  (Thanks Mick).

1986 saw the first CD issue of PiL's magnificent 1978 debut album.

The artwork has been faithfully reproduced (including the incomplete work-in-progress tracklist on the front of the album)

On the original LP each band member had their own front cover parody, which has also been implemented on the CD release. (Levene & Walker were originally featured on the LP dust-sheet so on the CD release they are presented on one page on the inner sleeve of the CD.)

There has always been confusion over the albums title. The front sleeve says "First issue" while the disc itself says "Public image" Opinion remains divided amongst fans (and band members it would appear!) as to the albums proper title. I suppose it comes down to what you prefer.
