Baxter Dury unveiled his new album last month.

Baxter Dury is previewing I Thought I Was Better Than You again ahead of the LP’s release on June 2nd with a lyric video for its Leon track.

A more or less factual account of what happened when Leon – my horrible class mate – and I stole sunglasses from Boots on Kensington High Street in the mid ‘80s. The reaction of the police and lack of parenting now seem to shocking since becoming a parent myself.
