Ian Dury: New Boots And Panties!! auf 2 CDs

Das Originalalbum mit dem ursprünglichen Tracklisting und Artwork wird zum ersten Mal auf transparent-bernstein farbigem Vinyl veröffentlicht.

Surprisingly, for three such treasured albums, “New Boots And Panties!!” (1977), “Do It Yourself” (1979), and “Laughter” (1980), they have never been given the Deluxe 2CD Edition re-issue treatment.

Demon is proud to announce that it is able to put this right at long last! With the full co-operation of the Dury estate and The Blockheads, our 2 CD sets will include bonus discs with all the non-album singles sides, demo versions, outtakes, and live versions, all retrieved from the untouched Dury tape archive. The booklets feature full annotation by acknowledged expert Will Birch, all the lyrics (for the first time ever!), and Dury ephemera.

“New Boots And Panties!!” remains an iconic album 27 years after its release. In The Observer’s recent poll of 100 Best British Albums, it came in at number 31, above such competition as “Rubber Soul” and “Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake”. Described by Charles Shaar Murray as “a masterpiece”, uniquely every single track is well-known in its own right!

The bonus tracks include “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll”, whilst the entirety of the Bonus Disc is previously unissued! The seventeen tracks unearthed for this release feature four songs that were never issued at all, as well as work-in-progress versions of nearly every song on the original album (“Wake Up…” has completely different lyrics) and “Sex & Drugs..”, and versions of a songs that eventually appeared on future releases.
