1981’s Lord Upminster was the first of two Dury albums for Polydor, and saw him reunited with Chaz Jankel alongside the mighty rhythm section of Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare. 1984’s under-rated 4,000 Weeks’ Holiday was Dury’s final LP for Polydor with his new band The Music Students

Each album comes complete with a generous booklet, featuring rare photographs and sleevenotes by journalist and author Patrick Humphries.
