This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get

This Is What You Get is the fourth studio album by the English post-punk band Public Image Ltd, released on 6 July 1984 by Virgin Records.

He then flew over to London and presented them to Richard Branson as the finished new PiL album for Virgin Records: Commercial Zone.

For his part, John Lydon decided to completely abandon the tapes and re-record the whole album from scratch with session musicians.

Four songs from Commercial Zone, "Bad Night", "Lou Reed Part 1", "Blue Water" and "Miller Hi-Life", were not re-recorded for This Is What You Want...

This Is What You Get which did not appear in any form on Commercial Zone are "Tie Me to the Length of That", "The Pardon" and "1981", and are the only songs on the album which do not credit Keith Levene as a co-writer.

PiL was supposed to score the soundtrack for the Italian crime thriller film Copkiller (1983), starring Harvey Keitel and John Lydon, who worked on the material with his bandmates Keith Levene and Martin Atkins (over the phone, by long distance).

It also appears in Season 2 Episode 6 of The Umbrella Academy when the Hargreeves siblings take the elevator to the Tiki Lounge to meet with their father.
