Wikkyd Vikker were from Leicester UK. This single was released in 1983 on the independent Boogie Records Label. It was only issued on limited vinyl and this audio was remastered from an internet MP3 download.

I love finding bands like this on KZfaq - it's a shame that they never made it big even though they released a single that was so good. Not to mention that the guitar solo in this song is outrageous, I keep finding myself listening to it over and over again, such great stuff.

Darathi...thanks for the good comment...I did my best with the re-master but I don't even own the original copy on vinyl or digital. I think the original tape was lost or destroyed years ago! Cheers!!!

You really have shit instead of taste, if that's what you think. The solo is great. The moment of this song starting at 2:05 is pure perfection and nostalgia.

I have this tune on an NWOBHM mixtape a friend gave me long ago, which he dubbed off a copy of the 7" he owns.

KIller, killer stuff. You go back and listen to some of these NWOBHM bands and it is just such a shame that they never made it big. You lads in Wikkyd Vikker had the talent, the cool name and the striped pants! At least we have a few tracks from you guys. I'm sure some great bands never made it that far.

This is a great track thanks for putting it up. I listened to the regular mp3 one over and over again so it's awesome to hear a remastered one. I've heard three songs from the band and while this is the best one, the other two were good too. Too bad you guys didn't get the chance to make more music together.

Hey Gaz, great job remastering this masterpiece and we're really thankful of your music! Do you happen to have the lyrics? I saw you managed to find the lyrics of Stonehenge, that's the reason I'm asking for more... Thanks in advance and cheers!

Wikkyd Vikker - Black Of The Night You've been looking at me for an hour or so There's a feeling in the air that make my senses glow Out in the black, into the magic of the night My baby takes me, makes me feel alright, yes she does She's all a man needs to make him high And then she'll take you and you don't know why She'll break you down and make you cry In the black of the night There's a glint in her eye with a fox shy smile She'll love bait you, and leave you for a while Out in the black, into the magic of the night My baby takes me, makes me feel alright yes she does She's all a man needs to make him high And then she'll take you and you don't know why She'll take you down and make you cry Ooooh my baby, look into my mind All the things I need to see, all the things I need to find All my hopes and dreams, so far away All my hopes and dreams, they don't seem to be Yey yey yeah! You've been looking at me for an hour or so There's a feeling in the air that makes my scenses glow Out in the black, into the magic of the night My baby takes me, makes me feel alright yes she does She's all a man needs to make him high She'll break you down and make you cry Then she'll take you and you don't know why She's all a man needs to make him high She'll break you down and make you cry Then she'll take you and you don't know why Black of the night!

Just a point of clarification, this is not a "remaster" you cannot remaster an mp3, remastering is making a new master from the original master tapes.
