My copy of #ReasonsToBeCheerful, an #IanDury compilation, has finally turned up.

It’s the only way I could get hold of the original studio version of #SpasticusAutisticus, as that #Blockheads version isn’t on Apple’s #musicapp or on #Spotify …

New Boots & Panties!! - Ian Dury & The Blockheads

Ian Dury & the Blockheads - "Hit me with your rhythm stick", on video.

Olivia Newton John - "A little more love". Repeated from last year, the pink blouse pops against the stark black backdrop.

Racey - "Lay your love on me" Not *quite* the theme from Kick Start, but close enough.
