The punk band will re-release two limited edition versions of the controversial single.
The controversial Sex Pistols single God Save the Queen is to be re-released ahead of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Singer John Lydon later observed: "You don't write God Save The Queen because you hate the English race. You write a song like that because you love them, and you're fed up with them being mistreated.""If pop music is going to be used to destroy our established institutions, then it ought to be destroyed first," remarked Labour MP Marcus Lipton. The Sex Pistols were banned from television, and many local councils refused to allow them permission to play concerts.
"It wasn't very nice," said Cook. "Everyone started getting paranoid. We had to be careful when we went out." Nonetheless, the band are aiming for the top of the charts again, with thousands of vinyl singles being pressed ahead of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations next month.
