Ian Dury was a rock and roll vagabond with the wit, humour and intelligence of Noël Coward and Oscar Wilde. His verbal dexterity as an entertainer and a lyric writer gave the world some of its most famous phrases – “sex and drugs and rock and roll” and “reasons to be cheerful.” He was a true Renaissance man – a talented painter, musician, and actor – who left behind a body of work that continues to amuse, impress, and delight to this day.
Authentic original release track listing and artwork, issued for the first time on special transparent lime coloured vinyl.
