The first best-of
Drifters collection in the group's complicated ten-year existence, this 14-song LP was also a strange compilation, drawing together
Clyde McPhatter-era chart singles like "Ruby Baby,"
Ben E. King-sung classics like "There Goes My Baby" and "This Magic Moment," and
Rudy Lewis-era masterpieces such as "Up on the Roof." It also freely mixes in odd but worthy sides like the hard R&B piece "What to Do" (never an actual hit) among the chart-busters. At the time of its release, this compilation provided a decent cross-section of some recent and classic singles by the two versions of the group.
