Do It Yourself is a 1979 album by Ian Dury & the Blockheads. It was the first album to be credited to Ian Dury & the Blockheads rather than Ian Dury alone, although Dury had used the full band name for the “What a Waste” 7" single of 1978. The album was released in the wake of the chart-topping hit single “Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick”, and reached number two in the charts, behind ABBA’s Voulez-Vous. Do It Yourself sold around 200,000 copies, and was Dury’s second Platinum album (after its predecessor New Boots and Panties!!).
