NO COVER ART PICTURE AVAILABLE
IAN DURY & THE BLOCKHEADS "sex & drugs & rock & roll-very best of" cd, 1999
Ian Dury...had the fullblown punk attitude from day one but often used ska/reggae and musichall/vaudevillian sounds in his songs...
was also an unlikely star...not very well groomed,couldnt really sing and vocals were the complete opposite to the gnerally smooth one of ska/reggae artists, rude,crude, brash by nature and almost totally incapacitated down his left side from polio...
but i guess he had the cheeky cockney rhymes and witt that endured him in the hearts and minds of the UK buying public...
lots of catchy tunes here, some autobiographical,mostly humorous, and some serious with a social conscience attatched, but good fun anyway IMO
he died in 2000 from memory from live cancer and was almost broke as he used to give his money away to charity to help children with serious illnesses.
all up one of those artists you either love or loathe,me, i love the guy and his music!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
