May 1974 and Kilburn and the High Roads are profiled in Penthouse by Steven Fuller. He dishes the dirt on ‘hard times in the world of pub rock’. The photographer is not listed, shamefully, as the images of Ian and the band are wonderful.

Dury discusses his life growing up, polio wards and school, his adolescent sex fantasies (this is Penthouse after all), his love of rock ’n’ roll, and gives a role call of his favorite movies and film stars. Key Largo, Kiss of Death, The Wild One, Somebody Up There Likes Me, The Magnificent Seven, The Vikings and El Dorado. He sent Robert Mitchum a picture he’d done of him playing the town drunk in the latter, the star wrote back. Most of all he likes Lee Marvin:

I did a drawing of Lee Marvin in Don Siegel’s The Killers, I did a silk screen. It was just after he’s been shot, it took me eight days to do the head . . . He’s just about to shoot Angie Dickinson and she begins to plead for her life and he says, ‘Lady, I ain’t got the time.’
