CD ReviewsAn Underrated National Treasure darklordzden | Australia | 09/12/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Ian Dury & The Blockheads describe the humourous and tragic aspects of living in Satellite town Suburban England better than any band yet produced. It's a testament to their wit and virtuosity that they can switch so easily between the scathing hilarity of songs like "Mash It Up Harry", and "Itinerant Child" and the touching sentiment of "You're My Baby". They still write the most amusing, original, incisive lyrics, are still one of the most imitated ( but never bettered ) bands of all time ( see Blur, Carter U.S.M. )and still possess one of the most original frontmen of all time. Give this album a listen and you'll see what I mean. Slick stuff. Mr Durys still got one of the most mellifluous voices I've ever heard and it's put to great use here. All the best chaps. An album you can be well proud of." Excellent! 05/24/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Latest recording from Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Very good. Typical funky Dury music and lyrics. A must have for the Dury fan."
