Buyer beware. You can find a better and more comprehensive collection of Coasters tunes in "50 Coastin' Classics". Do not buy this version by Onyx! These are re-recordings.

The Coasters are kind of hard to pin down when it comes to genre--they didn't seem to want to get stereotyped as just another '50's & '60's "doo-wop" group. "Charley Brown", "Young Blood" (later re-done by Leon Russell) and "Little Egypt" just a few of their more well-known songs. Only one I wasn't personally crazy about was "One Foot Draggin'"- otherwise the best collection for the money.

Listen to the clips. They are not the originals. "Hollywood Records" did the same thing to The Drifters. Don't buy.
