This Is What You Want… This Is What You Get (White Vinyl)

Public Image Ltd – This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get (Vinyl LP) Originally released in 1984, This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get marked a pivotal evolution for Public Image Ltd (PiL) and a defining moment in post-punk. Fronted by John Lydon, PiL pushed beyond punk’s raw edge to explore experimental rock and electronic textures, crafting a sound that was both challenging and influential. The album features standout tracks like the anthemic “This Is Not a Love Song” and the confrontational opener “Bad Life,” delivering biting social commentary through rhythm-heavy arrangements and Lydon’s unmistakable vocal sneer. Peaking at No. 1 on the UK charts, the record cemented PiL’s status as pioneers of the alternative music movement.
