Yeah, the one disc tin can version's the one I have as well. Though I only replaced my tape a few years ago, seems to be the release from 1990?
I suppose that could just be the CD, and the tin package came later.

Never took to Metal Box in its own right originally, I bought it retospectively after loving the live (not live) 'Paris Au Pretemps' LP.

Mind you, my gateway LP to Pil was Flowers Of Romance which I loved as a gawky teen. My pal Charlie always swears that its a a weird place to start for Pil, but there you go.

Remember buying 'Flowers of Romance' single alongside Human Leagues 'Sound Of The Crowd' and Talking Heads 'Once In A Lifetme' on a pocket money spree in Woolworths.

1981 wasn't a bad year for singles.

HAd discovered John Peel in early 1980, so what he played probably influenced some of my buying for 81' Certainly dicovered a major crush for Bauhaus in that year. http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1981_Festive_Fifty
