An unlikely pop star, physically disabled by childhood polio, and after a number of years in the less successful pub rock band Kilburn & The Highroads’, at the age of 35 Ian Dury took the charts by storm in October 1977 with his debut solo album on the infamous Stiff label: ‘New Boots And Panties’. With no hit single to drive it, almost unbelievably ‘NB&P’ peaked in the Top 5 of the albums chart. Even Dury’s famous single ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll’ (which failed to hit the Top75 Singles Chart) was not included.
This album remains one of the most essential to emerge from the punk era, infused with Dury’s famous wit and wordplay. Dury went on to have a number of hit singles albums and recorded until his death in May 2000.
The sleeve is the iconic photo shot of Dury and his young son Baxter leaning on the window of a lingerie shop in London.
