Image Publique S.A., Paris au Printemps (side A)

The faux-French packaging is silly, but 1980's Paris au Printemps is a fine live Public Image Ltd. album. The sound quality is solid for a live album, though the vocals are a bit loud and the guitar a bit quiet (obviously, the bass sounds inferior to Metal Box, though not bad). The performances are strong, loose, and charismatic, and "Careering" ("Precipitamment") came out particularly great. The applause is barely audible, and the cover painting has little to do with the music inside.
