There are a couple of 1968 stinkers on this double LP anthology set, otherwise the rest is killer music and a true testament to Rock 'n' Roll. The Coasters get bunched in the whole Doo Wop thing because they're a vocal group, but I think their sound is more drenched in Rhythm and Blues. Almost every tune is penned and produced by the illustrious team of Leiber and Stroller, which at the time if those guys have got your back you've got some sure fire hits and major talent! Who's that in the back playing that wicked Yakety Sax, but the man himself --
King Curtis!
