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.

Track Listing:
  1. "Theme" – 9:05

Label E.G.
Producer Killing Joke - Phil Harding

Killing Joke is the debut studio album of the London post-punk band Killing Joke. Released in August, 1980 worldwide under E'G Records, Killing Joke was self-produced and was considered an underground album. The album was recorded in early 1980, shortly after a small tour promoting the Almost Red EP. The lyrics of the album were written by front man and vocalist Jaz Coleman, which expressed his opinions on issues such as politics, death, hypocrisy, human nature, pollution, and exile.
The album has been considered by many bands as an influential and inspirational database. Several bands like Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Tool, Soundgarden, and Metallica have all credited Killing Joke for a lot of their own material.
The song "Requiem" was covered by Foo Fighters in 1997 as a b-side to the Everlong single and the song "The Wait" was covered by Metallica in 1987 and released on The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited and was later released as a single for Metallica. The song also featured in the hit movie School of Rock.
Killing Joke reached number 39 on the UK Albums Chart in 1980.[1] Killing Joke went on to have three singles: "Wardance", "Change", and "Requiem".
