Like his previous two albums Buster Goes Berserk and Buster's Happy Hour, it features his backing band The Banshees of Blue, and also continued the "lounge rock" style of its predecessors in covering rhythm 'n' blues songs of the 1940s and 1950s. Although a promotion video was made for "Ondine", "Mean Spirited Sal" was the most popular track.
