Sleeve notes for Brand New Boots And Panties by BP Fallon

Ian Dury was the dog’s bollocks and New Boots And Panties was the cat’s pyjamas. Live At Lourdes that album
was originally going to be called, a Lazarus blast by King Crip [who’d been the singer with Kilburn And The High
Roads and then Ian Dury And The Kilburns].

Durex he called himself and he was a Flash Harry handsome bastard bathed in humility and popping the bubbles
of pomposity, Mr. Love Pants and his lyrics as sharp as the creases in Duke Ellington’s trousers, this Upminster
Minister with Polio Portfolio, Royal College of Art to rock ‘n’ roll collage of Tart, silver razor-blade earring and eye
make-up just so.

New Boots And Panties... Good Lord, you could record this album again maybe a quarter of a century after it
first came out in 1977, record it again with all manner of incredible guest artists backed by Ian’s amazing
band The Blockheads. Fuck, yeah. A celebration of a classic piece of work.

And Ian, he’d be well chuffed. "Result!" he’d go, laughing, the Pearly King chuckling from the Pearly Gates.
Yes, Ian. Result.

And you could call it Brand New Boots And Panties.
