The Coasters’ classic 1957 debut album, packed with the infectious vocal harmonies, sharp humour and irresistible Rhythm & Blues that made them one of the great Rock ’n’ Roll groups of the 1950s. This 14-track collection brings together the original album and four of their earliest hit singles, making it a terrific snapshot of the group at the beginning of their recording career.
The hits come thick and fast, including Down In Mexico from 1956, One Kiss Led To Another, Young Blood and the sensational Searchin', all of which established The Coasters as masters of catchy, characterful R&B. There's plenty more to enjoy too, with Smokey Joe's Cafe, Framed, Riot In Cell Block No.9, Turtle Dovin', Brazil and Lola adding even more of that unmistakable Leiber & Stoller-era sound.
A hugely entertaining slice of 1950s Rhythm & Blues and early Rock ’n’ Roll, this CD captures The Coasters at their most exuberant and inventive. Four major early hits, fourteen essential tracks and one of the most entertaining vocal groups of the era make this a superb addition to any Rock ’n’ Roll, R&B or Doo-Wop collection.
