Editorial Reviews

Mr. Love Pants, originally issued in 1998, saw Ian Dury properly re-united at last with the Blockheads, their name appearing on the front cover for the first time since 1980's 'Laughter'. Chaz Jankel, Mickey Gallagher, Davey Payne, Johnny Turnbull and Norman Watt-Roy are all present and in their legendary cracking form. Seven of the songs were written with Chaz Jankel and the album was engineered and co-produced by 'New Boots And Panties' soundman Laurie Latham. On its original release the album charted for several weeks. Ian Dury died some 18 months later. Edsel. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Underrated National Treasure, September 11, 1999

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.

Really like Ian and the Blockheads. Yea, old music, but so what? It was new one time and that is when I first heard it.
