Public Image Limited - Happy? [208 605 GER 1987 24-Bit FLAC]

John Lydon and his ever rotating band of session  musicians stick the Public Image Limited name on what is essentially a polished eighties rock album. If it wasn't for the spiky ginger one's gritty and discordant monotone, Happy? could well be an album by any of a string of one-hit eighties bands. Vitamin Z ...anybody?

I am not saying that this is a poor album, I'm just not disguising the fact that this really isn't PIL ...nor is it really a PIL album  ...however it does sound great when cranked up really loud, especially the riffs on The Body.

John was to take a short sabbatical and return a few years later with a pop album, produced by Hooky's "mate" Stephen Hague.

I am indebted to long time blog follower penguinflight for donating his German pressing of this album, ripped for you all in 24-bits of FLAC.
