Ian Dury & the Blockheads

Greatest Hits Ian Dury & the Blockheads Coloured edition

Ian Dury, like Ray Davies and Paul Weller was a very English talent. The colourful, metropolis inhabiting characters like Billericay Dickie or Plaistow Patricia he sung about and the ever so cockney music hall accent he chose to sing in were a big part of that. But most of all it was the detailed, poetic way he catalogued English life and the melting pot of musical styles used to do so, from punk to funk to jazz and rock 'n' roll, which left the listener in no doubt that Dury'swork could only come from one place: The very heart of England.

Released on yellow coloured heavyweight vinyl, this is all killer and no filler. With Dury'smost loved songs, including 4 UK Top 40 singles and the number 1 smash, Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
