Public Image Ltd. - Album (Rhino Reserve)

• Available September 18th, 2026.
• Ship orders including this title will be held back.

Rather than record with his touring band, Public Image Limited frontman John Lydon recruited an all-star line-up including guitarist Steve Vai, keyboardist Ryuichi Sakamoto, drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Bill Laswell (who co-produced the collection). “I make records for myself. I want them to be completely precise,” noted Lydon of the 1986 set, which sounds as fiery as ever despite the seasoned session players.

Highlights include opener “F.F.F.”, “Home”, and “Rise” which became one of PiL’s most successful singles. An unusually accessible set (it reached the U.K. Top 20), Album remains an excellent point-of-entry to one of the 1980s’ most challenging groups.

This Rhino Reserve Audiophile edition was lacquer cut from the Original Analog Master by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab.

Heavyweight vinyl edition produced by Rhino Records for their 'Rhino Reserve' series in 2026.
