Ian Dury album & CD box set to be released

On October 27th 2014 Edsel Records will issue Ian Dury: The Vinyl Collection, featuring all eight of the legendary artist's long-players on 180g vinyl. The release will also be available in CD format, titled Ian Dury: The Studio Collection.

Ian Dury was a rock and roll vagabond with the wit and intelligence of Noël Coward and Oscar Wilde. His verbal dexterity as an entertainer and a lyric writer gave the world some of its most famous phrases – 'sex and drugs and rock and roll' and 'reasons to be cheerful'. He was a true Renaissance man – a talented painter, musician and actor who left behind a body of work that continues to amuse, impress and delight to this day.

Both formats on the box set feature the albums New Boots and Panties!! (1977), Do It Yourself (1979), Laughter (1980), Lord Upminster (1981), 4,000 Weeks' Holiday (1984), Apples (1989), The Bus Driver's Prayer & Other Stories (1992), and Mr. Love Pants (1998), with the CD version including a bonus disc to round-up the various singles.
