Buster
 Hailing
from Liverpool, Buster signed to RCA in 1976 and were instantly
teamed up with the song writing duo of Ronnie Scott & Steve
Wolfe (best known for Bonnie Tyler's It's A Heartache).
The band's impressive debut single, Sunday, released
in June 1976, barely scraped the bottom of the British charts
(Number 49 for one week before dropping out of sight for ever) and
that was the most chart action Buster ever saw in their home
country.
In Japan, however, they went on to be massively successful for
the next couple of years until the band apparently disappeared for
good after some frantic record releasing in the land of the rising
sun.
 In
their wake, Buster left a few albums and a handful of singles
containing pleasing late 70s teenybop fluff with barely concealed
Heavy Rock tendencies (they covered Steppenwolf's Born To Be
Wild on their first LP) and their often self-penned 7"
B-sides were on occasion experimental instrumentals.
Japan-only singles like She Ain't My Baby and Beautiful
Child tended to be just excellent straight-ahead rockers.
Rob Fennah and his his brother Alan, formed a record company in
Liverpool in 1993 called Pulse Records and Productions.
