Product Information

- The pseudonym Elbow Bones & The Racketeers was another project by August Darnell (Kid Creole And The Coconuts).

- New York At Dawn was released in 1983 after August notching up UK top ten hits with the singles I’m A Wonderful Thing (Baby), Stool Pigeon and Annie I’m Not Your Daddy in 1982. The last of which came from his UK #3 album Tropical Gangsters.

- A Night In New York was the album’s first single and was a big airplay hit in the UK. The single spent five weeks in the top 40 in early 1984 as well as reaching #24 in the Dance charts in the States.

- New York At Dawn features lyricist Debbie Clarkin and Frank ‘Pago Pago’ Passalacqua’ – lead singer with Gichy Dan. Additional musicians include the Coconuts Carol Coleman, Ken Fradely and Lee Robertson. This album is a delightful fusion of 1940’s-esque big band and 80’s dance beat the likes of which had never been heard before.

- The new Hot Shot Records release is housed in deluxe Super Jewel case and features an exclusive new interview with August Darnell. It also includes bonus tracks and is a must for all Eighties Pop and Dance fans.
