This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
This is an original copy of PIL's "Metal Box," three 12" EP's, released in 1979. The metal box is actually an adapted 16mm. film canister. In the US it was released as "Second Edition" in a regular cardboard gatefold sleeve.
The box itself has some rust and is generally discolored due to age. There is a needle skip on "Albatross", the only track on side A of the first EP. All the others are near-mint condition.
The track listing insert is a little crinkled from being in the tin against the raised PIL logo for more than 30 years.
The three papers dividers separating the EP's are in near mint condition.
I had to enter a US zip code to be able to list this item but it will actually ship from the UK, which accounts for higher shipping costs ranging between $25 and $35, depending on the options selected (regular delivery, signed for or signed for and trackable.)
