About this product

The Coasters were one of the vocal groups of the '50s and early '60s who bridged the gap between the doowop and R&B eras of the early '50s through to the rock 'n' roll explosion and beyond, with a run of hits that extended into the 1960s. They began life as a spin-off from the doowop group The Robins, adopted by the up-and-coming songwriting and production team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller as a vehicle for their work, changing their name after their first hit from The Robins to The Coasters as they switched from Leiber & Stoller's Spark tag to the Atlantic subsidiary Atco when the duo signed a production deal with the tag. This great-value 56-track 2-CD set comprises all their A &B sides as The Robins and The Coasters from their Spark debut in 1954 through to 1962, plus, as a bonus, the two titles which appeared on their albums during the period and were not otherwise released on singles. It naturally features their eighteen chart entries from the period, including the legendary US and UK hits Searchin', Yakety Yak, Charlie Brown and Poison Ivy, plus other memorable US successes like Smokey Joe's Café, Down In Mexico, Youngblood, Hog For You Baby, Along Came Jones and Little Egypt. It's not only a hugely entertaining slice of R&B-flavored rock 'n' roll, with hits that were landmarks along the rite of passage for many baby-boomers, but a testimony to the songwriting and production genius of Leiber and Stoller, their humorous 'street saga' songs providing the biggest of the group's hits. Album Tracks 1. Riot in Cell Block No. 9 (The Robins) - the Robins 2. Wrap It Up (The Robins) - the Robins 3. Loop de Loop Mambo (The Robins) - the Robins 4. Framed (The Robins) - the Robins 5. If Teardrops Were Kisses (The Robins) - the Robins 6. Whadaya Want (The Robins) - the Robins 7. One Kiss (The Robins) - the Robins 8. I Love Paris (The Robins) - the Robin

The Penguins were one of the several doowop groups of the 50s who took their name from a bird (others included The Orioles, The Ravens, The Flamingos and The Robins), and they are best known for their much-covered pop Top 10 and R&B No. 1 hit InchEarth AngelInch, which later came to worldwide attention when it was used in the InchBack To The FutureInch movie. Formed at high school in Los Angeles, the group developed a style that was as R&B and rock 'n' roll as it was pure doowop. InchEarth AngelInch was their second for the small Dootone tag, and it topped the R&B charts, crossing over to reach No. 8 in the pop charts, where it was overtaken by the Crew Cuts' cover version. They moved to the Mercury tag, and then to Atlantic, but could not repeat their chart success, despite releasing a string of top class R&B material under the aegis of their manager/producer Buck Ram, whom their shared with The Platters. After some line-up changes, the group eventually broke up in the early '60s. This 42-track collection comprises every track released under the Penguins name on singles, their LP and EPs during their career, so is a definitive overview of their career, and a fine example of their genre Album Tracks 1. No There Ain't No News Today 2. Earth Angel 3. Hey Senorita 4. Love Will Make Your Mind Go Wild 5. Ookey Ook 6. Baby Let's Make Some Love 7. Kiss a Fool Goodbye 8. I Ain't Gonna Cry No More 9.

Much has been said about Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concertos- and yet there is always more to be said. Il Gusto Barocco is a south German period performance think tank and it's take on the Brandenburg Concertos is a breath of fresh air, combining a nose for historical rarities with musical dare and ensemble sound with soloist flair. Featuring the rarely heard piccolo violin, the performance is play-conducted and spear-headed by Jörg Halubek, whose prior releases include Bach Organ Landscapes, which was extraordinarily well-received. Long term cooperation with the ensemble and Berlin Classics featuring Bach's works for different chamber ensembles. Album Tracks 1. Brandenburgisches Konzert NR. 1 in F-Dur, BWV 1046 2. Brandenburgisches Konzert NR. 2 in F-Dur, BWV 1047 3. Brandenburgisches Konzert NR. 3 in G-Dur, BWV 1048 4. Brandenburgisches Konzert NR. 4 in G-Dur, BWV 1049 5. Brandenburgisches Konzert NR. 5 in D-Dur, BWV 1050 6. Brandenburgisches Konzert NR. 6 in B-Dur, BWV 1051
