BBC Four next month will follow up its excellent documentary ‘Synth Britannia’ with the new three-part ‘Punk Britannia,’ a look at the ‘historic cosmology, meteoric impact and smouldering aftermath of the most genuinely transformative force in British popular music history.’ The three parts air Friday, June 8 and June 15.

This week’s new releases include the first new albums in decades from Public Image Ltd. and the hit ’80s lineup of Ultravox, plus a new four-disc Colourbox box set and expanded reissues of Sugar’s classic 1992 debut ‘Copper Blue’ and The Charlatans’ 1997 album ‘Tellin’ Stories.’

In two weeks, Public Image Ltd. will release ‘This Is PiL,’ the reconstituted group’s first new album in 20 years — but in advance of that, you can check out John Lydon and Co.’s new music video for ‘One Drop,’ the album’s lead single and title track of the ‘One Drop’ EP..
