Our Biggest Hits (1964) is the fourth studio album by the Drifters, released by Atlantic Records. It was reissued as Under the Boardwalk, immediately after that single became a hit.
This use is specifically for the original cover, designed by Loring Eutemey and used for both albums. Subsequent repressings of Under the Boardwalk used a different design, also by Eutemey.
