Hardly anything about Dury is Punk, except maybe an attitude, but he certainly surfed the Punk wave.
The music plunders many genres - Music Hall, Funk, Rock & Roll, and a smattering of Punkishness - and The Blockheads were on top form here, but the main attraction for me would be Dury's lyrics. Often daft & humorous, but equally capable of tugging at the heart-strings.
All delivered in ID's glorious London slang, by his not so glorious voice.
Great album.
