Ian Dury And The Blockheads - Reasons To Be Cheerful Part 3 (Original Promo Re-Make) (1979) (Full HD) (With Lyrics)...

It's always been a bit of strange one, this video. They never actually made a proper "promo" for it and instead used some live footage bizarrely redubbed with a combination of live crowd cheering at the beginning then blending into the studio recorded release...

Gotta be honest the "crowd noises" always kinda bugged me so it was time to re-make the video with the clean studio recorded track that is on the actual single. The video itself has always lacked detail but I managed to sharpen it up a wee bit but best of all redubbed, edited and re-synced & remastered the nice clean studio recorded track...

Tis 45 years on and this for me is still one of the very best by the late great Mr Ian Dury and the tight knit Blockheads, they were quite a unique band in everything they did from their sound, lyrics and musical style and one of the very best bands of all time in my opinion...

Even to this day there has been no other band who can compare to them and there probably never will be, they were and are one of a kind I reckon... 😎
