Nite City recorded a second album called Golden Days Diamond Nights, on which Manzarek received name-above-the-title billing, but it was only released in West Germany, due to internal troubles at the short-lived 20th Century record label. If this album had seen the light of day elsewhere, it may have found a larger audience than the first. Give or take a subversive lyric or two, the album has a very commercial sound; it's not unlike a Jefferson Starship album from the day. James was no longer in the band, and most of the vocals were now handled by Warren, who sounded a little like Marty Balin. "Golden Days Diamond Nights" is no great achievement, but it's easy to take. "Ain't Got The Time" and "Blinded By Love" could have been hit singles. Manzarek takes the lead vocal on the eight-and-a-half-minute "America", a uniquely Manzarek-esque road song."
