I tend to agree Kory. Except for the lack of respect PiL gave to their own recordings with First Edition. The cheapo recording of some of those tracks is appalling.

Still my favourite interview from that period just before the rot set in.

Re: Public Image Limited
The best part is the non-broadcast part at the beginning where they're jovially shooting the shit with J.J. Jackson about how fake the London club scene is. It's clear they like J.J. and think he gets it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑16 Oct 2018, 8:25amThanks for posting this! I've never seen it and will get around to giving it a go in a bit.
Then it's time to go on-air and you can see their facial expressions snap into full PiL character for the cameras: "And now it's time for us to become...difficult."

Re: Public Image Limited
Love that interview, forgot all about JJ Jackson and the original MTVj's. The pre interview is so chill and this is one of the best interviews I've seen of them, not that I've seen many.
