Overview

Apples is the sixth studio album by Ian Dury, released in October 1989 by WEA. It was the soundtrack to his short-lived stage-show of same name though it was recorded before the show opened. The album contains twelve of the twenty tracks from the show. The album was reissued with no bonus tracks on 31 October 2011 by Edsel Records. Stage show Apples was a stage show written by Dury with music co-written by Blockheads member Mick Gallagher on the request of Max Stafford-Clark. The show opened for ten days of previews on 6 October 1989 and to the public 12 days later. All the shows were held at the Royal Court Theatre in London and were directed by Simon Curtis, who Dury had worked with previously. The show only lasted 10 weeks before closing and reviews were not favourable, nor were they for the album of same name. The most common complaint about the show was Dury's script. Gallagher echoed this sentiment in Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll: The Life of Ian Dury. The play was about Byline Brown, a journalist played by Dury himself investigating a corrupt minister Hugo Sinister. In the original Ian Dury and the Kilburns version of Apples, the stall owner's name is Baxter, and the dancer from Soho's name is Jemima. This was changed to Simpson and Delilah for the final version. Baxter and Jemima are the names of Ian Dury's eldest children.

Notable quotes

“I like to think apples in Maine should be like cheeses in France, where you go 10 miles and you get a whole new cheese. In Maine there should be a different cider and apple in every town or county”
— John Bunker quoted in "DNA testing sheds light on the vast, mysterious world of heirloom apples" Portland Press Herald (September 25, 2022).
“There never was an apple, in Adam's opinion, that wasn't worth the trouble you got into for eating it.”
— Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett in Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990).
“As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.”
— Solomon, Song of Solomon 2:3, KJV
“There's plenty of boys that will come hankering and gruvvelling around when you've got an apple, and beg the core off you; but when they've got one, and you beg for the core, and remind them how you give them a core one time, they make a mouth at you, and say thank you 'most to death, but there ain't a-going to be no core.”
— Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer Abroad, Chapter I.
“And what is more melancholy than the old apple-trees that linger about the spot where once stood a homestead, but where there is now only a ruined chimney rising out of a grassy and weed-grown cellar? They offer their fruit to every wayfarer—apples that are bitter-sweet with the moral of time's vicissitude.”
— Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from an Old Manse, The Old Manse, "Time's vicissitude".
“After the conquest of Afric, Greece, the lesser Asia, and Syria were brought into Italy all the sorts of their Mala, which we interprete apples, and might signify no more at first: but were afterwards applied to many other foreign fruits.”
— Sir William Temple, On Gardening.
