poison ivy

When I was maybe twelve, my cousin Erik spent the weekend and had a couple cassettes. One was a Redd Foxx comedy album, the other was a best of The Coasters. I knew Charlie Brown and Yackety Yack and didn't think all that much about it. 

Now I hear how well it's all put together and sung. 

Poison Ivy

The CD wasn't around in 1984, and was probably part of a series of compilations marking Atlantic Records 40th anniversary in 1987. Including a few songs from when the group was still called The Robins.
