On this day, November 28, 1980, Ian Dury & The Blockheads released their third album, Laughter. Known for their clever lyrics and eclectic sound, the band continued to experiment with styles on this record, blending punk, rock, and new wave influences.

Laughter is notable as the final album to feature drummer Charlie Charles, a founding member of The Blockheads. Tracks like “Sueperman’s Big Sister” and “Delusions of Grandeur” showcased the band’s witty and irreverent approach to music, making the album a fan favorite.
