Public Flipper Limited is the second live album by San Francisco-based punk rock band Flipper, released in 1986 by Subterranean Records.[4][5] It contains recordings from 1980–85.[6] The title is a nod to John Lydon's post-punk outfit Public Image Ltd. Earlier the same year Public Image Ltd. had released an album titled Album whose title resembled that of Flipper's debut release, Album.
Critical reception
