Dead Kennedys Holiday In Cambodia 1980 UK 1st Press 12" VG+/VG+
DEAD KENNEDYS - HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA / POLICE TRUCK
1980 UK first pressing of 12" single
Released in May 1980, "Holiday in Cambodia" remains one of the most blistering, politically incendiary singles in punk history, taking dead aim at suburban Western privilege and bourgeois college pseudo-intellectuals. Driven by East Bay Ray's iconic, siren-like surf-guitar intro, Klaus Flouride's sinister bassline, and Jello Biafra's razor-sharp theatrical satire, the track defined the American hardcore sound on a global scale. Pressed onto a 12-inch 45 RPM format to deliver massive dynamic headroom and thumping bass response, this UK Cherry Red release pairs the full-length masterpiece with the crucial B-side "Police Truck," establishing the band's permanent foothold in the British independent charts.
