The Sex Pistols have posted a brand new clip for their classic single 'Holidays In The Sun', 35 years on from its original release.
The single was first released in October 1977, and is lyrically built around John Lydon‘s experiences in Berlin when the Pistols decamped there earlier that year as the media frenzy around the group escalated in the wake of their sacking by A&M Records.
Directed by Julien Temple, the clip uses home footage shot by John 'Boogie' Tiberi.

John Lydon recently looked back on that trip to Berlin. "Berlin was a very different town then. It was like that scene in Apocalypse Now when they go up the river and they see the flares and the party going on, all the soldiers on acid… That's what Berlin was like, with a chaotic war-zone wrapped around it. The Communists were looking in on this adventure playground. Quite mental."
