Ian Dury and The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick / There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards 12” Split Single Vinyl Record (2021 Record Store Day Exclusive Green Coloured Vinyl)

Pressed for the first time in over 30 years, Ian Dury and The Blockheads’ hit single "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" as well as "There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards" offer a great way to delve into the new wave era of the late 70s. 

With its distinctive 16-notes-to-the-bar bassline and unashamedly honky sax solo, Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" was certainly one of the more exciting and unique No 1s of the 1970s. The song represents the bands ability to draw on everything from music hall to reggae to rock’n’roll to create what Jankel dubbed “punk jazz”. Even throwing in funk and disco to create an oddly disorienting, almost stoned groove.
