 (1977), and like that album covers a diverse range of musical styles reflecting Dury's influences and background in pub rock, taking in funk, disco, British music hall and early rock and roll, courtesy of Dury's musical hero Gene Vincent.But unlike "New Boots..." the album was received negatively by the majority of music critics, while other reviewers noted good points to the album.It was a commercial disappointment failing to make the Top 40, and the album's only single, "Spasticus Autisticus", failed to chart.
