Kicking off what promises to be an exciting and comprehensive reappraisal of the artist's repertoire come the first three of Ian's gold-plated studio albums, available again on vinyl - the debut 'New Boots And Panties!!' (1977), 'Laughter' (1980) and, sandwiched between them, 1979's classic 'Do It Yourself'. Coming off the back of the huge success of 'New Boots And Panties!!' and the standalone singles chart smashes 'What A Waste' (UK No. 9) and 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick' (No. 1), 'Do It Yourself' was the first Ian Dury album to be co-credited to the band The Blockheads, whose Chas Jankel provided the musical setting for Dury's lyrics. Expectations were high and 'Do It Yourself' did not disappoint, creatively or commercially - a UK No. 2 album (only the might of a new ABBA album prevented it from reaching No. 1) it comfortably became the second Ian Dury album to be certified platinum. As was his custom at the time, Dury insisted that no singles be lifted from 'Do It Yourself' - he chose instead to offer them ten brand new songs. That didn't, however, prevent 'Do It Yourself's many highlights - 'Sink My Boats', 'Inbetweenies', 'Dance Of The Screamers', etc., - from coming to be regarded as classics, and the album was praised for it's innovative \"wallpaper\" artwork, insightful lyrics and immaculate musicianship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Tracks\u003cbr\u003e1 Inbetweenies\u003cbr\u003e2 Quiet\u003cbr\u003e3 Don't Ask Me\u003cbr\u003e4 Sink My Boats\u003cbr\u003e5 Waiting for Your Taxi\u003cbr\u003e6 This Is What We Find\u003cbr\u003e7 Uneasy Sunny Day Hotsy Totsy\u003cbr\u003e8 Mischief\u003cbr\u003e9 Dance of the Screamers\u003cbr\u003e10 Lullaby for Francies\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59547354300497,"sku":"5014797913080","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/4452844-3440825.jpg?v=1779331666","url":"https:\/\/c09u90-kd.myshopify.com\/products\/ian-dury-the-blockheads-do-it-yourself-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
