The landmark second album by Public Image Ltd (PiL) -- "Metal Box" -- will be issued on Japanese SHM SACD! And apparently in the signature metal box!
Also PiL's first album will be remastered as SACD, as well as later albums, which are not interesting, IMO.

Fausto, if I read CDJapan's description properly, ONLY the SHM~CD will come in the metal box (w/3 discs); The SHM~SACD description states Mini LP packaging.

I could be wrong.

The previous 2011 3 SHM-CD edition of PiL "Metal box" by EMI Japan was also packed in replica metal box (I've got it). I see no obstacles to do the same with SHM-SACD, I assume CDJapan wrote of cardboard sleeve by default.
Can't wait to hear how those Jah Wobble all conquering bass lines will sound under the green ink.
