A Date With John Waters

You're hopelessly seduced from the opening track "Tonight You Belong To Me" (Patience and Prudence) - "the first record I ever shoplifted". From there on it's just a matter of when John will pop the question. But he's not easy - and he makes sure the mood is set just right.All these tracks are in pristine condition and the compilation is arranged and produced to perfection. Anyone who has tried their hand at mix tapes will swoon at John's informed skill and remarkable taste.I bought the CD just for "Jet Boy Jet Girl", "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Johnny Are You Queer?" - but every other song here is a true gem. I am exuberantly happy with this purchase.The music is enhanced by the liner notes in which John guides us through his planned evening of romantic bliss - and respects us enough to leave us with a beautiful song for the morning after ("Bewildered").For all of us who will never be fortunate enough to date John Waters in person, this is the next best thing.

Heard Waters talking to Terry Gross a few years ago when this first came out and it stuck in my head. Glad it did because this is one of the best compilation albums ever. Everything from the scarily sincere to the very, very strange. My favorite is probably "You Belong to Me," which could be innocent but somehow I doubt it. I love it all and, seeing as I love his Christmas album, too, I hope he does more of these!

How could you NOT love Johnny boy?

The other reviewers have said it all, and I'll add my praise - exceeded my high expectations. I don't know where he found some of the tracks. I remember hearing 'Jet Boy Jet Girl (he gives me head)' on the radio in the 80s, and hadn't been able to find it since - until now!Not for children or prudes. All you cool people - enjoy! John: do some more compilations! How about a DVD of weird movie scenes?

Excellent purchase

I've been playing this endlessly since it arrived this week in my mailbox. Because of John Waters,my formerly worthless life now has new meaning. I bless you in Baltimore,you're a great man. I'm looking forward to your next amazing cd release

Perfection

Invite your lover over for dinner, play this CD and you are sure to score!
