Notes

Made In U.S.A.
All Selections Published by Nymph Music, Inc.-BMI (O.P. Virgin Music [Publishers] Ltd.)

Originally released in the UK as a limited edition 3×12" (45 RPM) titled Metal Box, which was packaged in a round metal box.
Warner Brothers in North America didn't want to pay for the extra packaging and triple vinyl, so it was changed to a 2x12" (33 RPM) in a standard gatefold sleeve, and the title changed to Second Edition. Virgin UK used this format and title for a reissue in early 1980 once the original Metal Box sold out.
"Swan Lake" was titled "Swan Lake (Death Disco)" on Metal Box, and is a slightly different version of the track "Death Disco" that was released as a single in June, 1979.
Although the album has a Warner Bros. catalog number, the album cover and labels use the Island logo.
Artist on spine: Public Image Ltd
Some copies gold-stamped as promotional on front cover.
