The album was recorded between July and November 1978 at different studios. The song "Public Image" was recorded first (the backing track at Advision Studios plus vocals and mixing at Wessex Studios) in July 1978. The whole of the first side of the record was then recorded in autumn at Townhouse Studios and The Manor Studio. The last three songs on the second side were recorded at Gooseberry Sound Studios, a cheap demo studio used because the band ran out of money.
On 9 February 1979, Warner Bros. Recording Studios in North Hollywood manufactured a test pressing of the album for PiL's U.S. label Warner Bros. Records. The sound of the record was considered as too uncommercial for an American release and PiL were asked to re-record parts of the album.[1] Although the band recorded new versions of some tracks between March and May 1979,[2] the album was never released in the U.S.
