About this album

4000 Weeks' Holiday finds Ian Dury balancing sharp humour, social observation and off-kilter pop instincts in one of his most distinctive early-1980s albums. Credited to Ian Dury And The Music Students and issued in 1984, it draws on rock, pop and left-field electronic textures to frame Dury’s unmistakable vocal delivery and clipped, character-driven writing. The record follows his breakthrough years with Kilburn and the Kilburns and The Blockheads, showing how his songcraft could be both playful and pointed without losing melody. Its eccentric charm and sharpened edge make it a striking entry in Dury’s catalogue.
