Most records in my collection would come from one-hit wonders. This one is one song and done, and even remains one of the most mysterious Italo Disco songs ever.

Disc Jockey Stefano Zito was one of the puppetmasters of the Italo Disco genre since the early 80's when he first produced his own electro tracks under the "Blackway Name": "New Life / Follow Me". Then in 1982, he and another Italo producer, Carlo Favilli, formed the record label, House of Music.

House of Music's catalog was filled with many "once and done" artists and Italo Disco projects, though some moved on with their music career, from Casco's "Cybernetic Love", to B.W.H.'s "Stop / Livin' Up".

Then there's Mr. Master's "A Dog In The Night". The 1983 song features a catch beat fresh from Stefano Zito, an electro hook, and vocals done by what was apparently an "Australian tourist". Cosimo Ciccone was the vocalist and recorded the song in Rome, and as soon as the records were released, he went back to Australia. The records however were only released in 12" and 7".


Today, with the discovery of Italo Disco by many record collectors, this record is highly sought after and commands high prices on Discogs (~$100-200 USD), all while Ciccone is currently an opera singer. Nobody knew about Mr. Master, let alone Ciccone, but all we know is about the Australian tourist, and that he has the answer for you if you need a hand, ever really know you, is waiting for you trying to understand, makes it easy for you, and of course, is a gentleman.
