Taken from the new album "What The World Needs Now..." album opener and lead single "Double Trouble" sees Public Image Ltd (PiL) launching into a statement of intent.

The 10" vinyl EP will be backed by "Betty Page" and also comes with the additional non-album bonus track "Turkey Tits".

The artwork for the single, partly inspired by Native American Hopi characters, was designed and handdrawn by John Lydon.

Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time, PiL's music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 singles and 5 UK Top 20 albums.

With a shifting line-up and unique sound, John Lydon guided the band from their debut album "First Issue" in 1978 through to 1992's "That What Is Not".

After a 17 year hiatus, Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009 by taking them back on the road worldwide.

"This is PiL", the band's first album in 17 years, got released in 2012 and was a huge critical success.

Last year the band returned to Steve Winwood's Wincraft studio in the Cotswolds' to record the new album.

Released on 4th September, "What The World Needs Now..." precedes the start of their 23-date UK/Europe tour.

"What The World Needs Now..." is self-funded by PiL and will be released on PiL's own label PiL Official.
