Dawn of the Dickies


Dawn of the Dickies is The Dickies' second album, released in 1979. It includes the UK hits "Nights in White Satin", which reached No. 39 in the UK chart in September 1979, and "Fan Mail," which made No. 57 in February 1980.
The album's title and jacket cover, depicting the band members set upon by "zombies" in blue make-up, was a salute to the George A. Romero horror film, Dawn of the Dead.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "By slowing down the tempo a half step and coming up with strong melodies, guitarist Stan Lee and crew manage to reel off one maniacally catchy gem after another."
