Public Image Ltd celebran sus 40 años con una caja recopilatoria

Public Image Ltd (P.I.L.) son sin duda una de las formaciones más influyentes de su generación. Surgidos de las cenizas de Sex Pistols, cuando Johnny Rotten recuperó su apellido uniéndose al ex The Clash Keith Levene en la guitarra, Jah Wobble en el bajo y Jim Walker en la batería. Están considerados como padres del post-punk estilo que enriqueció la escena musical de finales de los 70 junto con la new wave. Una nueva oleada de bandas que dejaban a un lado el carácter reivindicativo del punk y querían explorar nuevos sonidos.

Cuando se cumplen 40 años de la formación de la banda, se anuncia un amplio recopilatorio de todas sus épocas. Nada menos que cinco Cds y dos DVD en los que se incluyen desde los singles de la banda a caras B, sesiones de la BBC, directos y numeroso material que hará las delicias de sus seguidores. Su título será The Public Image is Rotten (Songs from the Heart) y saldrá a la venta el próximo 20 de julio.
