The Ian Dury Songbook, designed by the influential graphic artist Barney Bubbles, is a striking artefact of the late-1970s new wave era - with this issued being the scarcer variant of two cover designs that shows a close-cropped photo of Ian Dury on the front. Inside, alongside sheet music for classic tracks like "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll," "Sweet Gene Vincent," "Billericay Dickie," and "If I Was with a Woman," the book includes 16 pages of Bubbles' extraordinary collages - cut-and-paste artworks rendered in duotone, blending surrealism, pop culture references, and his signature witty, constructivist-inspired style.
