Digitally remastered edition of this 1989 album from the eccentric British singer/sognwriter. Adorned with a painting by Peter Blake, Apples was the sole album recorded by Ian Dury for WEA Records. It accompanied his stage show of the same name, performed at London's Royal Court Theatre that year. The songs were co-written with Mickey Gallagher of the Blockheads, although 'Apples' and 'England's Glory' actually date back to Dury's Kilburn And the High Roads days. The album was recorded before the show opened and includes 12 of the 20 songs that featured in the show. The players include Paul Weller's drummer Steve White, Blockhead Davey Payne on sax and Wreckless Eric and famed musical actress Frances Ruffelle (mother of singer Eliza Doolittle) on vocals. Edsel Records.
