  3. 🇬🇧 Public Image Ltd "This Is Not a Love Song" – 1983

    A deceptively catchy track built on elastic bass lines, sharp funk-influenced rhythms, and a cool atmosphere. Beneath its accessible groove lies a pointed commentary on commercial expectations and pop formula conventional. John Lydon delivers the lyrics with ironic distance and restrained tension..

  4. 🇬🇧 Public Image Ltd "This Is Not a Love Song" – 1983

    A razor-edged pop provocation that is catchy on purpose, cynical by design. Because the lyrics mock the idea of sincerity and commodified emotion, turning “love song” into a sneer at the music industry, consumer culture, and the audience’s expectations...

  9. PUBLIC IMAGE
    Public Image (First Issue)
    2025 U.S. RSD pressing
    UNRELEASED U.S. VERSION

    When you’re super-used to the original version of this album, this previously unreleased U.S. mix (originally intended for release around Sept. ‘79, but ultimately shelved) is a little jarring.

    But it’s actually PRETTY cool.

    It’s crazily rearranged, and the drums are WILD.
    There is no Religion 1 and 2, and a few songs from Second Edition are included.
    The version of Annalisa is extended, Lydon’s vocals seem a bit more raw, and ALL of Levine’s guitars seem far more bright. And the bass is super thick and punchy throughout.

    The U.S. were definitely trying to Frankenstein something they could sell a little easier to an American audience.

    If you’ve ever loved PIL, this record is a definite must have. Really cool version of this.
