The Coasters were one of the key vocal groups of the '50s and early '60s who successfully bridged the gap between the doowop and R\u0026amp;B eras of the early '50s through to the rock 'n' roll explosion and beyond, with a run of hits that extended into the 1960s. Starting life as a spin-off from the doo-wop group The Robins, they were adopted by the up-and-coming songwriting and production team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller as a vehicle for their work. They decided to change their name after their first hit from The Robins to The Coasters as they switched from Leiber \u0026amp; Stoller's Spark label to the Atlantic subsidiary Atco. This fantastic LP manages to feature all their US R\u0026amp;B chart entries and Hot 100 top tens alongside a selection of their best singles, starting with their biggest hits as The Robins and continuing through as The Coasters to 1961. It naturally features the legendary US and UK hits Searchin', Yakety Yak, Charlie Brown and Poison Ivy, plus other memorable US successes such as Smokey Joe's Café, Down In Mexico, Youngblood, Along Came Jones and Little Egypt. It's not only a hugely entertaining slice of R\u0026amp;B-flavoured rock 'n' roll, with hits that were landmarks along the rite of passage for many baby-boomers, but a testimony to the songwriting and production genius of Leiber and Stoller - heir humorous 'street saga' songs providing the biggest of the group's hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiot in Cell Block #9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smokey Joe's Café\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Down in Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Kiss Led to Another\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Searchin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Young Blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Yakety Yak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Shadow Knows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Charlie Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Along Came Jones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poison Ivy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Run Red Run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What About Us\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wake Me Shake Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wait a Minute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Egypt (Ying-Yang)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e Shop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e 24\/7.\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43399385677914,"sku":"824046162825","price":7.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/6107\/2986\/files\/4215862-3016750.jpg?v=1779324993","url":"https:\/\/qbrxip-ki.myshopify.com\/products\/the-coasters-what-about-us-best-of-1955-61-preorder","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
