Title: The Blockheads
Description: Formed in 1977 to promote Ian Durys� album �New Boots and Panties� on the first Stiff Records tour of the U.K. Chaz Jankel, Norman Watt-Roy, Charlie Charles, John Turnbull and Mick Gallagher became known as �The Blockheads� (a reference to a song on Ian�s album). As �Ian Dury & The Blockheads� they went back out on tour, this time without Chaz Jankel, and in 1978 released �What a Waste� a single that reached number five in the U.K. charts. They were then joined by saxophonist Davey Payne and toured the U.S.A supporting Lou Reed across North America ending with their own dates in California (with backline roadie Pete Rush)

This set was recorded at the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh on The 21st of September 2006, Rick Falconer of Good Times Promotions Scotland was good enough to arrange filming the band performing for us. Listen out for the brilliant version of �Spread it� included in this record
