The Coasters were masters of witty, infectious Rhythm & Blues and early Rock ’n’ Roll, and this classic Greatest Hits collection gathers together twelve of their biggest and best-known recordings. Originally released as a vinyl LP in 1959, it captures the group at the height of their early success, when their irresistible vocal harmonies and brilliantly memorable songs were filling jukeboxes and radio stations.
The hits come thick and fast, including Poison Ivy, Along Came Jones, Down In Mexico, I'm A Hog For You Baby, Charlie Brown, Yakety Yak and That Is Rock 'n' Roll. Young Blood and Searchin' are here too, alongside the equally entertaining The Shadow Knows, Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart and Sweet Georgia Brown, making this a remarkably strong 12-track snapshot of The Coasters at their most entertaining.
With twelve classic recordings from the original 1959 Greatest Hits album, this CD is packed with essential Coasters material from beginning to end. A superb collection of vintage vocal-group Rhythm & Blues and Rock ’n’ Roll, and an excellent way to enjoy some of the group's most enduring and infectious recordings in one place.
