Notes:  David Johansen's evolution from sassy NY Doll to suave and debonair Buster has produced some interesting music along the way. Up front and full of himself, Buster is always looking for a cool joint and a warn partner. Some swinging songs here for your next gala get together with the usual suspects on a Saturday night. And amongst the big band and swing sounds the boy pulls of a nice rendition of The House of the Rising Sun. Who'd a thought of that back when he was wearing dresses and sneering at the crowd? Classy cover and sleeve photos of Buster and the gang. Chill the cocktail shaker baby, the gang's on the way over.
