Top-tier, collector-grade vinyl artifact from the golden age of new wave and punk: Ian Dury's masterpiece debut album, New Boots and Panties!!. This original 1978 US pressing on Stiff Records / Arista (STF-0002) is completely factory sealed, unplayed, and features its rare original retail hype sticker beautifully intact on the front shrink-wrap.
Finding a pristine, 45+ year-old shop copy of this pub-rock and punk staple still locked in its original commercial factory shrink-wrap—especially with the fragile vintage promotional sticker—is incredibly difficult. This is an absolute must-have piece for punk, new wave, and Stiff Records completionists.

Track & Album Highlights: This album is widely celebrated as one of the most witty, lyrical, and structurally diverse records of the late-1970s UK music explosion. Blending gritty music hall humor, funk basslines, and early rock 'n' roll energy, it remains a timeless classic. Includes the US Bonus Track: "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" (absent from the original UK tracklist).  Features the brilliant, driving synth-led new wave tracks "Wake Up and Make Love with Me" and "Sweet Gene Vincent".  Packed with razor-sharp lyrical storytelling on underground anthems like "Clevor Trever," "Billericay Dickie," and "Blockheads". 
Jacket & Shrink Condition Notes:  Hype Sticker is crisp, bright, and perfectly flat against the plastic. It clearly highlights the hit tracks and the inclusion of the era-defining bonus single. Shrink-Wrap is pristine, crystal clear, and perfectly tight across all edges. No splitting along the mouth, no dry rot, and no peeling. Original vintage factory breathe holes are visible on the wrap. Cover Jacket features perfectly straight spines and sharp corners. Vibrant front artwork with absolutely no hidden ring wear or warping under the plastic.
