Demon Records are delighted to welcome back one of the richest and most diverse catalogues in the British rock cannon from the iconic, much-missed Ian Dury.
Kicking off what promises to be an exciting and comprehensive reappraisal of the artist’s repertoire between 1977 and the posthumously released final album ’Ten More Turnips From The Tip’, ‘Too Nutty To Be Naughty’ charts a thrilling journey from his punk-era masterpiece ‘New Boots And Panties!!’, through his classic studio works as a solo artist and with bands The Blockheads and The Music Students. Where appropriate, for this 9CD release, crucial standalone singles have been added as bonus tracks.
As to be expected from this versatile artist, throughout there are forays into rock ‘n’ roll, jazz and R&B, spoken word poetry, ska and just about all points in-between. With an innate genius for lyric writing, the songs here are, at turns, political, confrontational, tender, witty, wry, poetic and occasionally downright hilarious but always incisive…
Oh, and there’s the not inconsiderable matter of the inclusion therein of some of the all-time great tracks of the post-punk era… ‘Sweet Gene Vincent’, ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’, ‘Reasons To Be Cheerful (Part 3)’, ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll’, ‘Spasticus Autisticus’, ‘Sueperman’s Big Sister’, ‘Bus Driver’s Prayer’ and many more.
