Ian Dury’s New Boots and Panties!! is a sharp, swaggering debut that blends punk attitude with pub rock, funk and music hall eccentricity. Released in 1977, the album captures Dury’s lyrical wit and working-class storytelling across tracks like “Wake Up and Make Love with Me” and “Billericay Dickie”. With backing from The Blockheads, it’s a defiantly British record full of grit, groove and cheeky charm.
