Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller were attempting mini-radio plays in the writing and production work with the Coasters that provided all concerned with a string of hits that ran from 1955 into the early '60s. They added a few things to their memories of chestnuts like The Shadow Knows, however: the new R&B's stomp and swing, along with a subversive edge that made this kid stuff sound knowing to adults. As finely calibrated as anything to come out of the era's recording studios, sides like "Young Blood," "Searchin'," and "Along Came Jones" are definitely raucous, definitively hilarious. Inspirational verse, from "I'm a Hog for You": "One little piggy ate a pizza / One piggy ate potato chips / But this little piggy's comin' over your house / He's gonna nibble on your sweet lips." --Rickey WrightCustomer Reviews:
Fee Fee Fi Fi Fo Fo Fum.......2007-07-09
Years ago, Amazon sold a CD by the "Coasters". It was a fake ripoff, and disappeared shortly.
This is the real deal, and highly recommended for anyone who likes 50's Do Wop.

This disk, if you can ever get one, is easily worth $45.
Beautiful Soundtrack.......2005-08-26
All in all, this is an awesome album which is probably in my top 7 favorite soundtracks (and I am some-what of a 13 year old connoisseur of good soundtracks [particularly scores]).
This CD is great for fans of scores, fans of the movie, or some one who just wants a break from their "Apollo 13" soundtrack.

A bit much, but............2007-04-27
Written mostly by the self-proclaimed "White Negroes" Lieber and Stoller, these guys provided the Coasters with some really funny and wry tales that had a good beat that you can dance to.
Along with the necessary "Great Big Idol With the Golden Head," "Searchin'", "Poison Ivy," "Charlie Brown" etc. we have lesser known but no lesser story songs such as "Riot in Cell Block 9," "Young Blood" (with some really good trick voices), and "What About Us," a thinly-disguised civil rights lament.
Special mention must be given to one latter tune here, "D.W. Washburn," about a lazy tramp who rejects the preaching of the Salvation Army. This picturesque audio cartoon reminds one of the "Schoolhouse Rock" type songs of the early 70s and is quite clever and memorable.
No discussion about the Coasters would be complete without special mention (and comparison) with their comedy doo-wop rivals The Cadillacs. Interesting to learn from the liner notes that these clown princes of Soul story songs occasionally shared the same members (notably Earl "Speedo" Carroll) as well as styles.
A bit much for the casual fan with 50 songs. But if you get it, you'll say like D.W. Washburn, "I do believe I got it made."
Lemme Tell Ya A Little Story..........2004-01-05
Thus "The Very Best Of The Coasters" moved in and filled the requisite needs at first, even tossing in a few lesser heard gems such as the hysterical "Shoppin' For Clothes" and the rousing "Run, Red, Run". The notes which featured an interview with the group's famed writer/producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller were informative, and while it skimped somewhat on mentioning the contributions of the singers themselves, and by limiting itself to just 16 songs focused almost solely on the hits, it was deemed a decent purchase overall.
But as usually happens with such a consistantly good act as the Coasters he found himself craving even more. Those huge hits that we've all heard a thousand times on radio, in movies and on those cheap Hits Of The 50's compilations were somehow not as impressive stacked one on top of another without pause. Sure they were still excellent compositions, brilliantly sung and played, but they were almost TOO popular to stand out amongst other equally famous sides. On the other hand, those rarer cuts that WERE included seemed fresher, partly because they were not as familiar and partly because Leiber & Stoller were virtually incapable of cutting a bad record and so they began to hold more interest whenever the CD was played. Suddenly that 50 track two-disc set began looking more and more attractive for it would be sure to hold far more obscurities than the mere 16 track "Very Best Of" did. So our hero set out once again on his perilous journey in search of musical nirvana.
However due to those evil licensing folks who limit the time multi-label packages can be on the market (every story needs a villian) "50 Coastin' Classics" was out of circulation by this time. But our fearless hero persevered and finally found the elusive damsel in distress, slayed the dragon and bought a nice used copy (albeit at full original price) and was amply rewarded for his courage. On it he soon discovered he had been denying himself access to 34 terrific songs for far too long. Granted not every one of them was as great as "Yakety Yak" or "Charlie Brown" had been, but the joy of hearing how the Robins evolved into the Coasters over nine full tracks rather than just two as found on the "Very Best Of", including the addition of one of their best comic performances on "Framed" was worth the added price alone. And surely few casual Coasters fans have heard just how adaptable their unique style could be when applied to standards like "Brazil", "Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart" and "Besame Mucho", which really stand out as evidence of their singing talent. And while most Coasters collections stop around 1961 this one continues to the dawn of the 70's and showed their skills hadn't dried up just because the hits did, as proven with the funky "Soul Pad" and the great original version of "D.W. Washburn".
As if that wasn't enough, inside this package was a thick booklet that used the same interview from the "Very Best Of" set but only here it wasn't chopped down to size, instead giving us 13 pages of recollections from the famed writing duo with extended comments on nearly every song. Plus it had a full sessionography including the much appriciated information of who sang what parts on each cut, something that was omitted entirely from the smaller hits disc. Besides all that it had lots of photos scattered throughout, an additional 9 page written introduction on the group by respected musicologist Robert Palmer and a colorful, neatly constructed folding cardboard box to store it in.
The moral of this story? Don't be a cheapskate when it comes to great music. Trust that the added expense will be worth it. Hearing the sly vocals on "What Is The Secret Of Your Success" or "The Shadow Knows", the straight-ahead rockin' on "Hey Sexy", "Wake Me, Shake Me" and "Keep On Rollin", or the hilarious reading of "Stewball" will more than bear this policy out. Besides, you'd hear plenty of the big hits they're famous for anyway without even making an effort to, so instead search out the songs that have been lost in the pages of time, many of which are the equals to their more reknowned work, and when added together show just how great these guys really were. Fifty diverse and intricately nuanced songs spread out over two discs make for a much more varied and enjoyable listening experience than you'd get by just sticking to the well-known.
So track "50 Coastin' Classics" down, stop wasting money on packages that give you less of a good thing - even if the price is cheaper - and trust your instincts. You'll live happily ever after if you do. The end.
Dear Jerry Lieber & Mike Stoller.......2002-02-18
Just how serious are you?.......2000-05-07
That said, only a true devotee of the Coasters needs this anthology. The group had only six legitimate hits, all of which are available on more concise collections. You'll have to search a bit to make sure you're getting originals, but they are out there. However, if you are a Coasters fanatic and want everything they've done in a quality package, don't pass on this one. It's outstanding!
