Ian Dury was a rock and roll vagabond with the wit, humour and intelligence of Noël Coward and Oscar Wilde. His verbal dexterity as an entertainer and a lyric writer gave the world some of its most famous phrases - "sex and drugs and rock and roll" and "reasons to be cheerful." He was a true Renaissance man - a talented painter, musician, and actor - who left behind a body of work that continues to amuse, impress, and delight to this day.
New Boots and Panties!! is Dury's 1977 debut album. It has been certified platinum and features the single Sweet Gene Vincent. The album showcases a range of styles from funk & disco to punk rock.
