		Ian Dury, who has died of cancer aged 57, was one of few true originals of the English music scene, the only man to successfully combine the energy and excitement of rock 'n' roll and funk with the bawdy humour, wit and home-spun philosophy of music-hall and of his native Essex.
		The young Ian went to live in Upminster with his mum, but was struck down by polio at the age of seven.
		At the time, Dury insisted to me that, as an unlikely pop star, he was merely continuing his career as an artist: "I was a painter for seven years, a successful illustrator for two years, and now I'm a rock 'n' roll singer.

		Ian Dury's solo debut album is one of those rare treasures, the unjustly forgotten New Wave classic that's a pleasure to re-discover and a sadness to contemplate in the view of its being so drastically underrated at present.
		Take Ian's cockney idiolect, add up all the musical styles in his backlog, throw in a pinch of shock values and general offensiveness, and you got the formula - you don't even need to spice it up with a relevant social message.
		The mild pub-rock atmosphere is crossed with a swooping orchestral arrangement and idiotic sounding Dury vocals as he keeps bragging about some of his personal relation experiences: "Till I met her, I thought I knew the answers/I thought a bit of treatment was all a body needs...".

		Firstly because I absolutely loved Ian Dury and The Blockheads but the second and more important reason is that Jim Drury has spoken to all the Blockheads and they each have their own tale to tell.
		The rows and punch ups are also investigated and also just why Ian and the band went their separate ways during the eighties and early nineties.
		Perhaps the most poignant part of the story is the way the band open up their hearts over the loss of original Blockhead drummer Charlie Charles and of course the loss of Ian Dury himself in March 2000.
