John Lydon masterfully photographed by Anton Corbijn in the summer of 1983, with the old New Yorker Hotel in the background.
In 1981, PiL decided to relocate from London to New York, where recording sessions for the band's 4th studio album took place between '82-'83. After Pete Jones and Keith Levene left, John Lydon remained the only founding member still in the band and with the exception of Martin Atkins, the line-up was largely unknown local New Jersey musicians hired for the shows.
In September 1983 PiL’s biggest UK hit single, ‘This Is Not A Love Song‘, is released, followed by their first actual UK and European tours.
