THE COASTERS WERE FORMED ON OCTOBER 12, 1955, WHEN CARL GARDNER AND BOBBY NUNN LEFT LOS ANGELES BASED RHYTHM AND BLUES GROUP THE ROBINS AND SIGNED TO ATLANTIC RECORDS. DUBBED THE COASTERS BECAUSE THEY HAD MOVED FROM THE WEST COAST TO THE EAST COAST. THE ORIGINAL LINEUP COMPRISED THE VOCAL QUARTET OF GARDNER, NUNN, BILLY GUY AND LEON HUGHES, PLUS GUITARIST ADOLPH JACOBS.

THE COASTERS SCORED A STRING OF HITS INCLUDING "YOUNG BLOOD", "CHARLIE BROWN", "POISON IVY" AND "YAKETY YAK". THEIR MOST MEMORABLE SONGS WERE WRITTEN BY THE SONGWRITING AND PRODUCING TEAM OF JERRY LEIBER AND MIKE STOLLER. ALTHOUGH THE COASTERS ORIGINATED OUTSIDE OF MAINSTREAM DOO-WOP, THEIR RECORDS WERE SO FREQUENTLY IMITATED THAT THEY BECAME IN IMPORTANT PART OF THE DOO-WOP LEGACY THROUGH THE 1960s. IN 1987, THEY WERE INDUCTED INTO THE "ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME".

THIS SELECTION FEATURES FOURTEEN OF THE COASTERS' BEST CUTS. THE ALBUM WAS VOLUME ONE OF SIX VOLUMES RELEASED IN 1971 OF A "GREATEST RECORDINGS" SERIES BY ATCO RECORDS. THE SLEEVE IS A BI-FOLD SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH EXTENSIVE LINER NOTES BY "DR. DEMENTO" FROM KMPX-FM. SAN FRANCISCO. THERE IS ONLY VERY, VERY MINOR WEAR ON A COUPLE OF THE EDGES. THE RECORD IS GRADED AS VIRTUALLY MINT CONDITION.
