Public Castration Is a Good Idea is the first live album by the New York band Swans. It was recorded from shows in London and Nottingham on the Greed/Holy Money tour in 1986, the first six songs taken from a show at London's I.C.A. Public Castration Is A Good Idea is often regarded as the band's most brutal extant live album, the song performances here are musically quite different from their studio versions, in particular the lengthy, minimal version of "A Screw".
An accompanying VHS of these live performances was released called A Long Slow Screw.[4]
