PiL - Radio 4

Previously entitled "What song is this?" I have had this recording since the 80s and believed it was from the very early 80's. It is from 1979 It is a great string synth and bass duo. I think it is very beautiful, European.

Was this a signed artist with a label? The reason I ask is I hear some "clams" in there. Perhaps it's an amateur recording?

[bluntsafety]

clams. Well, I have always thought it was from the punk scene, maybe PIL.

In my 40's now, but I hear this and suddenly I'm 15 again, headphones on, lights out, and desperately hoping mom doesn't catch me up past bedtime spinning Second Edition for the 4th time tonight.

Final track of my (summer 1980) acid hike mix tape.

I suppose "The Great Rock N Roll Swindle" was an apt title. One of the most commerically successful group of songwriters of all time, "The Pistols" and "PiL" created some of the most critically acclaimed and important music of all time. Cowell take note - the public will buy "caviar" if its on the shelves, as opposed to being force fed excrement.

[JoLuniPrincipi]

favolosa!

We were all this and more, not yesterday but tomorrow as well. There is no future and there is a future...bollocks

Radio Four, Metal Box, Public Image Limited, can't believe someone has finally put this on. Was I ever that young? Thanks!
