Stupidity – Dr. Feelgood – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Recorded live in 1976, ‘Stupidity’ by Dr. Feelgood stands as a touchstone of the UK pub rock movement—an antidote to the excess of mid-70s arena rock. This album doesn’t just document a band at the height of their powers; it bottles the sweaty, urgent energy of a cramped gig, where every note feels vital and unfiltered. Led by the magnetic Wilko Johnson on guitar and Lee Brilleaux’s gritty vocals, Dr. Feelgood delivers a relentless set of raw R&B-inflected rockers and blues numbers that sound as punchy today as they did decades ago. ‘Stupidity’ reached No. 1 on the UK charts, a rare feat for a live album, and its influence rippled out to inspire the first wave of British punk and new wave acts. For collectors, this record is more than a nostalgic artifact—it’s a living document of a band whose ferocity and authenticity made them legends. Spin this and you’ll feel the floorboards shake; it’s a masterclass in live performance, direct from the source. If you appreciate honest, high-octane rock, ‘Stupidity’ deserves a cherished spot in your collection.
