New Boots and Panties!! is a 1977 album by Ian Dury.
The title derives from Dury's habit of buying clothes second hand, and refers to the only items he insisted on buying new. According to Ian Dury & The Blockheads: Song By Song, the name was chosen by Dury from a list of 20 drawn up by compere Kosmo Vinyl. The album is not credited to "Ian Dury & The Blockheads" as the band was not formed until Stiff's Live Stiffs tour some months after its recording, and two of the band do not play on the album.
The photograph for the front cover of the album, by Chris Gabrin, features Ian's son Baxter.

Famous quotes containing the word boots:
“The only sin is limitation. As soon as you once come up with a man’s limitations, it is all over with him. Has he talents? has he enterprise? has he knowledge? It boots not. Infinitely alluring and attractive was he to you yesterday, a great hope, a sea to swim in; now, you have found his shores, found it a pond, and you care not if you never see it again.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
