This is a brilliant album that was sent to me by Andreu:
It's the Nighthawks one and only full length from 1980 but they did have 4 singles. I'm pretty sure though that all of their singles (including b-sides) are on the album. I could be wrong (although I never have been before). There was a "Belle Blue" maxi single and I cannot find what the other tracks on that are.
Guitarist/vocalist Oliver Stephan is currently playing in
The Stimulators.
1 Sophisticated Woman
2 Jo'Burg Jive*
3 Johnny Too Bad
4 Shanty Town
5 Carry Go Bring Come
6 Patsy Girl
7 White Shoes
8 Here Comes the Nighthawks
9 Blood is Thicker than Water
10 Cocktail Blues
11 Belle Blue
(link has been removed at the request of the band because they plan on re-releasing their music)Thank you Andreu!!!
*The track "Jo'Burg Jive" has a voice at the beginning that is a tag for the editing software that was used. It's a bit annoying, but it doesn't really interfere with the song too much.

Good to have you back.
hi! andreu here. i promise to send a better ripping from that track. do you recommend a good program?
Great to find the Nighthawks again :))
This Munich band had a great clubhit with the last track (Belle Blue). I've seen them quite a lot in all the local clubs that are noted in the lyrics - always a great show!
thanks a lot for sharing this
Hi, and thanks a lot. I've just put up a myspace page for the Nighthawks, with more info and pics, discography to follow!
Cheers from Munich,
Oliver
Hi there. Just listening to that amazing album for the first time after a long time, found it between other records upstairs. We used to listen to the Nighthawks in the beginning 80s...what a weird time. Thanks for keeping up the memories...
