PiL box sets delayed

pil_metal_lp

Fans who have pre-ordered the Public Image Limited Metal Box and Album super deluxe editions direct from the official stores yesterday received an email saying the sets would be delayed.

Fans were told that “unfortunately there has been a delay with the manufacturing of Metal Box and Album which were previously due for release on Friday 28th October.

At this time we do not have an exact date when we expect these to be available but we will be in contact with you to advise once we have a confirmed date.”

Revealing that they don’t know when these will be available is a little strange and a cynic might suggest there is more to this than a simple manufacturing issue. It is also not clear whether this is just affecting vinyl sets or the CD super deluxe editions too. More info on this when we have it.
