The Coasters - Searchin' (1957)

[NaTaSBlood]

@baldur1377 ooooooooooh... nice find. I've found some weird things in old sleeves but nothing like that. I remember about 2 years ago someone had dumped off a bunch of those 45s that they use for radio promotion, had some old elvis and even a Leadbelly, was a very odd mix.

[antivenin]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I grew up on this.

[bugone13]

[jackblacksutube]

[StagPreston]

Man, nothing sounds as great as old VINYL! This version sounds so much better than the CD reissue. Down with DIGITAL!!! lol.

[MegaThomas48]

I remember dancing around the living room to this when i was 4/5 years old!! Thank you!!

[FatherTimeST1300]

Very scrathchy record. Maybe a finer grit of sandpaper would have been a better choice for a jacket liner. Thanks anyway for your download. Carry on.

[IMPORTSOCIETY]

@FatherTimeST1300 ,

so very sorry that my vinyl record does not live up to your standards.

also I would like to thank you for allowing me to "carry on".

ass.

[mattybock]

@IMPORTSOCIETY just curious buddy, where did you get this record? I'm new-ish to old doowop, rock n' roll, and RnB, and would like to build up a vinyll collection. thanks.

[IMPORTSOCIETY]

@mattybock , picked this one up on ebay for about 4 bucks, I also search the local flea markets and yard sales.

[NaTaSBlood]

@IMPORTSOCIETY Agreed, also, thrift stores. I found an Queen album just last week sighned by the entire band.. well except freddy. But still, 75 cents, can't beat that.

[sleepytimegalz]

@IMPORTSOCIETY good on ya hahahaha phyllis

[ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ]

@IMPORTSOCIETY he makes fun of the scratch yet many millions of peeps try to re create this scratch now on todays gay music lmao

IRON GIANT OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT MOVIE, THE BEST KID MOVIE EVER!!! Sooo much memories. THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE \m/ oh and between the beatles and the coasters they have always been a huge part of my life!!!

[MATTHEWTHEINGRAM]

Haha Thanks October Sky and Iron Giant!

[bronze1914]

yeah those lyrics are outstanding and i like the lyrics on young blood too!

[mkl62]

The nineteenth song to hit #1 on the Rhythm & Blues charts in the Rock Era. I think Toys 'r' Us used this song in one of their commercials.

[babyinblack]

this song is so fun :D love the original and the beatles version.

[BarrioPunkRock]

i dont why but i kind of like this song

go to my channel and see the music i like

you would probably question it too

strange

but this song is cool

[MrKrayola13]

@BarrioPunkRock ive been listening to this music since i was growing up along with pink floyd guns and roses mexican music and i listento the misfits and metallicca iron maiden and all those so your not the only one haha

[MastersofDumbassery]

Thumbs up if your an Iron Giant fan!

[savage642]

Who originally sang this the coasters or the 50s version of the beatles? That aside the coasters and the tokens r probably the best of the 50s

[FoxRunMan]

@savage642 The Coasters were the original, 5-10 years before The Beatles' version.

[gingeroni8]

@savage642 agreed with you then for the 60's number 1 is the beatles number 2 Santana

[Minacious]

I love the picture... what a bunch of cool guys...

[MultiBigAndy]

ive heard this from Iron Giant movie

[scartissue94]

The sounds coming from the vinyl actually sound cool with the song. It gives it a real nice classic feeling.

[janniklindquist]

:-)

[kosherkickboxer]

i heard this song in cheech and chong nd it was way better lol but w.e

[freklfacejpgr]

Love the crackle on this one. Old vinyls are awesome.

[aa3gunner]

I first heard this song when I was watching the animated movie "The Iron Giant" which was set during 1957- the same year this song came out :D

[ant0nyv]

best 50's song on oldies but goodies

[insanity21376]

Ohhh how I miss the sound of vinyls.

[TheHazardman131]

I may be 15 but hey this is a great song! I would have loved 2 grow up in the 50's with my pa!

[DElasee]

@TheHazardman131

I'm 15 also! This song is fantastic!

[TheGoldenDishwasher]

@DElasee same here!

[ComicLifeStrip]

such a catchy song.^__^ love it so much.

[rlathbury]

"Sherlock Holmes," "Samuel Spade," "Sgt. Friday," "Charlie Chan," "Boston Blackie," "Bulldog Drummond," not to mention the "Northwest Mounty" and "Blueberry Hill," make this the most comically allusive song in rock and roll. These relatively sophisticated lyrics by Lieber-Stroller are perfectly set off by the energetic, coarse voice and the back beat. I cannot decide if I like the pops on this recording for their period authenticity or whether I'd like a more pristine presentation.

[jekk23]

Brilliant, excellent, superb, wonderful. I love this song.
