Deal alert / Ian Dury: The Studio Albums Collection / 9CD career box set
Fantastic deal in the UK at the moment for The Studio Albums Collection, the career spanning box set featuring music from the much-missed Ian Dury.
This nine-CD box features eight original albums (five by Ian Dury and three by Ian Dury and The Blockheads) and a superb bonus CD of non-album tracks. Everything is packaged in a clamshell box and you get a 16-page booklet.
This is really nicely done, and an absolute bargain at just £23 – about £2.50 a disc!
