5.0 out of 5 stars BEST COASTERS COMPILATION FOR THE PRICE!, November 23, 2008

This 10-track A & M collection is a good buy for those of you who want the well-known broadcast versions of the Coasters' hit songs. No out-takes, this is the music you loved to hear on the AM radio stations back in the 50's & early 60's. The sound quality is good. You'll hear King Curtis's acrobatic sax playing loud & clear, unlike some other Coasters "hits" compilations that have poorly equalized tracks. This one is a good addition to any oldies collection. ENJOY!

4.0 out of 5 stars Where is the Comprehensive Collection?, June 8, 2005

By 

Eclectic Revisited "Charlie" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yakety Yak & Other Hits (Audio CD)

Again we have "Smokey Joe's Cafe" and "Framed" from the group's previous incarnation, the Robins. "Wait a Minute", a hit song, is rarely seen on Coasters compilations, again not here. Two songs herein were NOT hits (guess which two). It IS a treat to see the also-rarely-included "Shopping for Clothes", a funny narrated tune great for bellyrubbing slowdancing. It's all a mixed bag, but it's affordable and brings you a little closer to having a more complete collection. Your choice.
