Dawn of the Dickies is the second studio album by the California punk band Dickies. [3] [4] It includes the UK hits "Nights in White Satin" (a high-speed cover of the Moody Blues song), which reached No. 39 in the UK chart in September 1979, and "Fan Mail," which made No. 57 in February 1980.
However, both songs were overshadowed by the re-release of "Nights in White Satin", which had been first released in 1967. Whereas both singles from Seventh Sojourn made the top 40, "Nights In White Satin" bested both, hitting No. 9 in the UK and No. 2 in the United States and gaining the highest American chart position for a Moody Blues single.

The track "Blue Guitar," originally released as a non-album single credited to Hayward and Lodge in September 1975 but performed by Hayward with the band 10cc, with John Lodge on bass guitar, was added to the album upon its re-release on CD in 1987.
