COASTERS, THE - Greatest Hits

The Coasters' second full album from 1959, and follow-up to their groundbreaking self titled debut, is more of a retrospective of their early singles, reviewing an incredible succession of hits. Slightly preceding the 'One by One' album where they switched to a more jazzy approach, this is pure sweaty West Coast R&B at its peak: "Poison Ivy", "Charlie Brown", Yakety Yak" are just a few unforgettable top-sellers from the band that most remarkably added the word 'fun' to the rock and roll dictionary.
