Comes with an exclusive CD of previously unreleased material Sex and drugs and rock and rollIs all my brain and body needSex and drugs and rock and rollIs very good indeed Famous for his funny, provocative, visceral lyrics, Ian Dury was a rock-and-roll poet and legendary force on the London music scene from 1970 onwards. In the course of his unstoppably creative career, he studied art with Peter Blake, before turning his mind to music. When he teamed up with a band called The Blockheads, a new era in New Wave music exploded into being, as they turned out hits like 'Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll', 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick' and 'Billericay Dickie'.

Each chapter is introduced by Jemima, who paints a warm, insightful, and humorous portrait of the man behind the outrageous words.Read More
