It was the single “Searchin’” with “Young Blood” on the flip side that really launched the multi-hit career for the Coasters. When the Beatles auditioned for Decca records in 1962, Paul McCartney chose “Searchin’” to perform. The song featured lyrics about some of the pop culture detectives of that era like Charlie Chan, Sgt. Joe Friday, Bird Dog Drummond and Boston Blackie. The 45, released by ATCO Records in 1957, is worth up to $30.00 if the label is yellow and white while a copy with a maroon label can sell for $100.00 today. Both versions are shown here.
