Today 40 years ago, on 18 May 1979, the late great IAN DURY and his BLOCKHEADS orchestra released their second longplayer DO IT YOURSELF. The first time actually that his band was credited on the sleeve(s). Just like debut album New Boots and Panties!! this more dancey/vibey/lively/spicy/funky follow-up LP went Platinum in the UK.

ALL MUSIC wrote: “Do It Yourself is a record of mid tempo pub rock disco and remains one
of Dury’s very best records, since his lyrical facility throughout the album is simply amazing.”
