PiL Flowers of Romance

 

John Lydon ditches the Sex Pistols, hooks up with like-minded troublemakers, and starts producing experimental and abrasive sounds that are strangely accessible and catchy.

Behold the joy that is The Flowers Of Romance. This is far different than many of the best-known PiL tracks, and the double LP edition of this reissued by 4 Men With Beards in 2009 is a staggering accomplishment–one of the best presentations of the album ever. Recommended!

And yes, Turntabling does have a for-sale copy of this (check the link above). At the time of this writing there is a gorgeous, sealed copy of this 180-gram double LP reissue by 4 Men With Beards. They tend to sell out, so don’t delay! And yes, Turntabling does ship overseas. If you don’t own of copy of this amazing LP, or have never heard it, check the video below. Anyone who becomes an instant fan is definitely plugged into the Turntabling vibe, but don’t feel bad if it takes a few listens to “get it”. PiL can be an acquired taste, but once you’ve been hooked, you’ll have to hear the entire catalog.
