Ian Dury And The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rythhm Stick


Ian's most famous number and a number one single, the B side is brilliant as well.

For the record :) the A side is listed as "Ian And The Blockheads" and the B side is credited to "Michael Gallagher, John Turnbull, Davey Payne, Norman Watt-Roy, Charlie Charles, Chaz Blockhead And Ian Blockhead" phew!!

A - Hit Me With Your Rythhm Stick
B - There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards

Ian Dury - What A Waste


The first single I bought from Ian Dury and it's still my favourite track by him.
Lucky enough to see him live just after this was released, a great show but never managed to see him again :(
Tracks were just listed as Ian Dury (no Blockheads), and the B side just as Wake up (without the "and make love with me").

01 - What A Waste
02 - Wake Up

Hugh Cornwell And Robert Williams - Nosferatu


Didn't really appreciate this when I bought it on vinyl at the time and sold it on a few years later, it just wasn't the Stranglers!!
Downloaded it again a few years back and it's grown on me.
Hugh joins with Capt Beefheart drummer Williams on the album, it also features a host of guest stars.
Worth a listen.

01 Nosferttu
02 Losers in a Lost Land
03 White Room
04 Irate Caterpillar
05 Rhythmic Itch
06 Wired
07 Big Bug
08 Mothra
09 Wrong Way Round
10 Puppets
11 Losers in a Lost Land (Instrumental)

Ian Dury And The Music Students


Ian Dury And The Music Students - 4000 Weeks Holiday.
Another cassette, quality is not too bad no obvious distortion that happens sometimes with old cassettes.
This one's from 1984 and spawned a couple of singles which failed to trouble the charts, it's surprising that although Dury is so well known he only had 4 top 40 hits!!
Tracklist - (You're My) Inspiration, Friends, Tell Your Daddy, Peter The Painter, Ban The Bomb, Percy The Poet, Very Personal, Take Me To The Cleaners, The Man With No Face, Really Glad You Came.
