Plastic Box compilation

In 1993, Lydon worked on his memoirs, first published in 1994 as Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs , and in 1996 he regrouped with Steve Jones , Glen Matlock and Paul Cook for the Sex Pistols’ Filthy Lucre Tour. Lydon released a solo studio album, Psycho’s Path , in 1997. 1999 saw the release of the 4-disc PiL compilation Plastic Box ; it offered a more comprehensive retrospective of PiL’s recorded output than the single-disc The Greatest Hits, So Far . Plastic Box contained a mixture of previously released and unreleased material spanning PiL’s entire career, although no material from Commercial Zone or PiL’s two live albums was included (in the compilation’s liner notes, Lydon wrote that “this collection represents a comma not a full stop, I fully intend to carry on with PiL, and there will be more in the future.”).
