Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Although the late Ian Dury left behind enough song lyrics to warrant even more Blockheads' projects in the future, the posthumously-released 10 More Turnips from the Tip (the self-deprecating title together with a proposed track-listing was discovered, after his death, on one of Ian's notepads) is certainly the last album to feature Dury himself. Here it is then; drawn from spruced-up material originally recorded in 1991 and 1996 (some outtakes from Mr Love Pants) as well as from the bands' last sessions in 1999 and beyond (latter-day cheeky geezer Robbie Williams' sings "You're The Why", the last lyric Dury composed before his death), Ten More Turnips is the final studio curtain for that peerlessly-delivered combination of savvy, streetwise Essex vernacular, wit and wordplay and the Blockheads' chunky but malleable pub-rock funk.

Ian Dury was one of the most colourful, empathetic, life-affirming characters ever to grace British pop. Do not mourn him with a black handkerchief and a glass of Thunderbird wine, instead celebrate the palpable "joie de vivre" perkiness of "I Believe", which lists a whole load of run-of-the-mill reasons for keeping cheerful ("saying thanks", "Santa Claus", "fresh air", "birfdee cake", "being nice") and boasts the Blockheads' most delectably twangiest lead-guitar part since "Sex Drugs And Rock n Roll". Equally special is the real-life comic-strip biography of "Ballad Of The Sulphate Strangler" (featuring Dury at his growliest best), the story of the late and chaotic Pete Rush, Dury's one-time volatile "Desperate Dan" style minder who, according to The Blockheads', dealt with antagonists by grabbing them by the throat and biting their nose. In light of which, its entirely fitting to remark that 10 More Turnips from the Tip is a really great record to sink your teeth into! --Kevin Maidment
