Release Date : October 16th 2020

n August 1977, a 35-year-old Ian Dury released his first solo record, a 7″ vinyl single, whose title Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll became a term of common usage and is still very much part of our vocabulary today. Within the next two years, Dury’s debut album New Boots and Panties!! would spend 89 weeks on the British Album charts. His third single Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, became a U.K. number one in January 1979, selling a staggering 970,000 copies. When Ian Dury lost his life to cancer in 2000 aged 57, he left as one of the great auteurs of the 20th Century, a man who fought enormous disability and adversity to become recognised as a national treasure.

On October 16, BMG releases ‘Hit Me! The Best Of Ian Dury’ a newly assembled compilation put together with the Ian Dury Estate. It’s a compendium of Dury’s biggest hits and then some, a knockout selection of tracks sourced from across Ian’s solo career, Ian Dury & The Blockheads and Kilburn & The High Roads.
