The Coasters – The Jasmine EP Collection

• THE COASTERS occupy a unique niche in the history of Popular Music in that they were just about the only act to successfully straddle the divide between ‘serious’ R&R/R&B/DooWop and novelty repertoire.
• The court jesters of Rock & Roll, they cut some of the most remarkable, innovative and enduring discs of the era, sold millions of records worldwide, and were briefly the most popular vocal group in the world.
• The appeal of their records is both timeless and ageless, and their zany, carefully-crafted vignettes have been covered and revived by dozens (hundreds, perhaps?) of other artists over the decades.
• This compilation of classic Coasters cuts is drawn from EPs issued in the US, the UK, France, Sweden and Spain between 1958 and the early 60s.
• It comprises a prime selection of A-sides, B-sides and LP tracks, and features most of their signature hits.
