(On the record cover, bass is credited to Tommy Browder - a.k.a. August Darnell.) (The long awaited digitally remastered reissue of the 1980
debut album by the band August Darnell created after the initial demise of Dr.
Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. Darnell created the persona of Kid Creole
(after Elvis Presley's "King Creole") dressed in a Cab Calloway zoot suit, with
tongue planted firmly in cheek. Along for the ride was Dr. Buzzard alum "Sugar
Coated" Andy Hernandez (Aka Coati Mundi), a stellar cast of musicians and "The
Babes" (The Coconuts), inspired by Bob Marley's I-threes. This special package
includes updated liner notes, rare photos and an interview with Darnell. The
real bonus for collectors are the five bonus tracks: All the 12" mixes released
in tandem with the album: 'There But for the Grace of God Go I (12" Mix)', 'He's
Not Such a Bad Guy After All (12" B-Side)', 'Darrio (12" Disco Mix)', 'Yolanda
(12" Mix)' and 'Maladie D'amour (Mutant Disco Version)')

(A lot of it sounds like very early proto - 'Off the Coast of Me' Kid Creole. The songs are bouncy and enjoyable, especially 'Jungle Love' and 'La Poupee'. Cristina Monet wrote the lyrics for 'Ticket to the Tropics,' one of the better songs on The Coconuts solo album, 'Don't Take My Coconuts'. She was also the girl-friend of Michael Zilkha, owner of Ze Records. On Cristina's second album (produced by Don Was), Cristina recorded her own version of 'Ticket to the Tropics'.)

(Digitally remastered and reissued in 2002. The kid and the babes most successful album from the Brindisi Reef that yielded hit singles on both sides of the Atlantic and solidified their fan base. The second in the "Mimi" cycle, August Darnell's lyrics are humourous and thought provoking in a spicy stew of funk, calypso and R&B...long before anyone else in the pop world attempted to merge them all. Includes updated liner notes, rare photos and an interview with August Darnell. The real bonus for collectors are the six bonus tracks; All the 12" mixes and single B-songs released in tandem with the original album: "Christmas on Riverside Drive", "You Had No Intention", "Annie I'm Not Your Daddy (Remix)", "I'm a Wonderful Thing (Original 12" Mix)", "Stool Pigeon (12" Mix)" and "Double on Back".)Kid Creole and The Coconuts

(Digitally Remastered and reissued in 2002. Kid Creole and his Coconuts had conquered the concert stage and this was Darnell's writing pinnacle. It's the final chapter of the "Mimi" cycle, where our protagonist finds that true love is often just an illusion. Each song is brilliantly written and performed by a band that has been seasoned with intense road work and success, each one special. Includes the hit cover of "If You Wanna Be Happy", Darnell's reunion with his brother Stony Browder Jr on a remake of Dr. Buzzard's "The Seven Year Itch" and what could have been the anthem of the X Generation, "Underachiever". Includes updated liner notes, rare photos and an interview with August Darnell. Also includes three bonus tracks: "Fireside Story (Fireside Chat)", "There's Something Wrong in Paradise (12" Mix)" and "Don't Take My Coconuts" which was only previously available on a single.)

(A review from Robert Christgau - Disinclined though I am to blame music on engineering, I reluctantly decided that what ailed this five-years-awaited fourth album wasn't just uncharacteristically inelegant arrangements and lyrics unworthy of Stony Browder but a fuzzy, cavernous mix that at times turned Cory Daye into another background element. Then I remembered that I'd gotten an advance last spring, and when I compared the two I was shocked. Remix engineers Gary Hellman and Rob Paustian--abetted I'm sure by schlock svengali Sandy Linzer and possibly Browder, credited with coproducing the new version - have ruined a crisp, spare, inelegant-on-purpose rock and roll album, smothering a great singer in artificial fog along the way. They've also deleted two songs, each strong enough to lead a side of the advance, neither (hmm) produced by Linzer. And you know what else? The little subhead that says "featuring Cory Daye" on the original cover is gone a well. Docked a notch or two to encourage boycott. C PLUS).
I bought the cassette off amazon recently and the mix is so much better than the LP mix. Most of the reverb wash is missing.
Here's a track from the cassette - 'We Went Into This Thing' - Tony The Chameleon.
