NEW BOOTS & PANTIES |

This 1998 reissue contains 5 bonus tracks not on the original release.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
NEW BOOTS AND PANTIES was the 1977 debut from Ian Dury, who gave disco a rollicking pub-rock feel with such songs as "Wake up and Make Love with Me") to achieve a cult following in the U.K.
Includes four bonus tracks and 17 demo cuts.
Dury's one great album, so good that it overtakes major stars and million-selling supergroups. Dury portrayed the Essex man before Essex man was conceived, and brilliantly satirized it in 'Billericay Dickie' and 'Clevor Trever'. It is hard to imagine Dury the romantic, but there is a romantic in 'Wake Up And Make Love To Me' and 'I'm Partial To Your Abracadabra'; there is also sadness and regret in the beautiful 'My Old Man'. He should be remembered for his dynamite band the Blockheads and this necessary album - not his gold radio station albatross 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick'.
