Many reissues are easy to solve (in my head anyway) but this is a tricky one.

Public Image Ltd
Metal Box (1979)
Second Edition (1980)

Same track listing, same length of album.

Different name, different release year.

On this site, both are listed but Metal Box is on 41 charts compared to Second Edition on 2.

Do we combine the album under Metal Box or leave as two separate albums?

Personally, if it's exactly the same track listing it should be merged (I think it should be treated the same as other reissues).

Combine them under Metal Box, I guess, especially if the track-listing is exactly the same.

I agree with the suggestion to merge as Metal Box. The album was originally released in a metal tin. It was deleted from the catalogue on 23 November 1979 after an initial release of 60,000 units. The album was re-issued on 22 February 1980 as Second Edition, a double LP packaged in a more conventional gatefold.
