CD Description
Dury's one great album, so good that it overtakes major stars and million-selling supergroups. Dury portrayed the Essexman before Essex man was conceived, and brilliantly satirized it in 'Billericay Dickie' and 'Clevor Trever'. It is hardto imagine Dury the romantic, but there is a romantic in 'Wake Up And Make Love To Me' and 'I'm Partial To Your Abracadabra'; there is also sadness and regret in the beautiful 'MyOld Man'. He should be remembered for his dynamite band theBlockheads and this necessary album - not his gold radio station albatross 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick'.

Customer Reviews

New Boots 2CD edition
New Boots & Panties is a masterpiece; anyone who has a pulse should own a copy! DOn't bother to read this. Just order in now!

There are many versions of New Boots available on CD. I took this one for the demos & they are an interesting addition; CD 1 has the original album plus the singles while all of the demos are on the second disc. The demos show that the arrangements were all in place before the real recordings were made. The Blockheads were an amazing band & New Boots shows that their backing was always sympathetic to the song; never getting in the way of the lyrics but adding a real groove.
