Going Places: The August Darnell Years 1976-1983

With today's DJs and artists consistently championing and sampling Kid Creole's early work, this exclusive Strut release covers 1974 to 1983 and features rare extended versions and album tracks released on CD for the first time. It's solid stuff all throughout and some of the highlights include "Sunshowers" which was sampled by M.I.A., Cristina's controversial new wave disco cover of Peggy Lee's classic "Is That All There Is," the quintessential disco anthem "There But for the Grace of God" by Machine, rarities such as Gichy Dan's Beachwood No. 9 "On a Day Like Today" and groundbreaking tracks by Coati Mundi with "Pharaoh" and Aural Exciters' "Emile."
