In keeping with their position as an ensemble who knew life before Dury's rhythm stick tickled a nation, the jazzy R&B inflexions of the Blockheads are as chewy as before, even if the guv'nor isn't around any more.

And just to show this isn't some cheap and cheerful knees-up, Chas Jankel and co have enlisted producer John Leckie to make sure the glass sparkles.
