ジョン・ライドン(John Lydon)率いる
パブリック・イメージ・リミテッド(Public Image Ltd)が人気作2タイトルを4枚組のスーパー・デラックス・ボックスセットで再発。対象となるのは、1979年にリリースしたアルバム『Metal Box』と、1986年にリリースしたアルバム『Album』の2タイトル。いずれもCD4枚組とアナログレコード4枚組が用意されており、レアおよび未発表音源も収録されます。発売は海外でCD版が12月9日、アナログレコード版が12月16日。
アナログレコード版は収録時間の関係でCD版よりも収録曲が少ないものの、付属されるダウンロードカードを使ってCD版と同じ収録曲の音源を得ることができるとのこと。
『Metal Box』は、円盤状の金属ボックスでリリースされた1979年のオリジナル盤を彷彿とさせる、PiLのロゴ入り正方形の金属缶でリリースされます。
『Album』(別名:Compact Disc、Cassette)のアルバム・ジャケットにはリリースされた各フォーマットの名称(Album、Compact Disc、Cassette)が描かれていますが、このスーパー・デラックス・ボックスセットにも同様に「Album super deluxe edition」と描かれています。
いずれのボックスにも、72ページのブックレット、オリジナル・ポスター、アート・プリント(LP版のみ)、ポストカード(CD版のみ)が同梱されます。
