Ian Dury was the dog's bollocks and 'New Boots And Panties' was the
cat's pyjamas. 'Live At Lourdes' that album was originally going to be
called, a Lazarus blast by King Crip [who'd been the singer with Kilburn
And The High Roads and then Ian Dury And The Kilburns].
'Durex' he called himself and he was a Flash Harry handsome bastard
bathed in humility and popping the bubbles of pomposity, Mr. Love Pants
and his lyrics as sharp as the creases in Duke Ellington's trousers,
this Upminster Minister with Polio Folio, Royal College of Art to rock
'n' roll collage of Tart, silver razor-blade earring and eye make-up
just so.
'New Boots And Panties' ... good Lord, you could record this album again
maybe a quarter of a century after it first came out in 1977, record it
again with all manner of incredible guest artists backed by Ian's
amazing band The Blockheads. Fuck, yeah. A celebration of a classic
piece of work.
And Ian, he'd be well chuffed. "Result!" he'd go, laughing, the Pearly
King chuckling from the Pearly Gates. Yes, Ian. Result.
And you could call it 'Brand New Boots And Panties'.
