Ian Dury & The Blockheads* – Laughter

this was a great blockheads japan lp released in 1980 in japan and worldwide, ive been into the blockheads now for a bit over 40 years, honestly this is about my favorite blockheads record of the first 3 wich i feel are the best!!!!! this one featured the great WILCO JOHNSON on a lot of guitar wich added to this record for me, anyway i got this japan edition years ago, great japan insert & typical stiff records obi strip........

My copy has a very different track order and I want to be straight A1 is not listed above...

My version of this has a completely different track order. All other catalogue and matrix/runout numbers are identical

My copy comes with Ian and Davey and the sticker might or might not be disgusting.

next to new boots in 1977, this was my second favorite ian dury and the blockheads record wich was released in 1980, this is the japan version released on stiff records japan, this comes with a 4 page insert with lyrics in english and an essay on the band in japanese...................

Apparently there were different inner bags with different members of the group (and the engineer) pictured on them.

most blockheads fans felt new boots and panties was the best blockheads record in 1978 but i felt this one LAUGHTER in 1980 was there best, great songs here like supermans big sister, pardon, dance of the crack pots and over the points are just a few great songs to mention, if you liked british punk in the late 70s give this a shot, ian was kind of in a class of his own and as with many punk and metal bands as well as prog bands of this era I COUNT MYSELF AS A BIG BLOCKHEADS FAN..........................

There really is not a good moment on this entire album and that is why they put everyone's picture on the cover so you know who is to blame.
