Label:	RUMBLE RECORDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	RUM 2011011LP

"Like most of the early-era R&B LPs, the Coasters' first album is more of an all-killer no-filler singles compilation than a proper debut. Covering four years and two distinct lineups, including a good portion of the period when the group was known as 'the Robins', and including thirteen songs supplied by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller (probably the most legendary team of composers of the whole rock and roll era!), The Coasters is one of the most fun and entertaining R&B vocal harmony records of its time, from one of the few bands in rock history to successfully straddle the thin line between music and comedy."

"The Coasters' 1960 'meet-the-band' LP wherein the singers are presented not as a group but as individual soloists, represented a complete departure from what the Coasters rose to fame for. If the previous material was marked musically by its rock and roll teen-age based orientation and a by a deeply satirical approach to the lyrics, this album is notable for his musical maturity instead, with swingin', jazz-inspired arrangements brought by a full complement of musicians and an expensive production, resulting in a Coasters' album that appealed not only to the youthful fan-base, but to adults of a more cultivated and advanced musical taste."
