Description:

The whole world was Twisting during the early 1960s. It was the dance craze to end all dance crazes, bands around the globe jumping on the bandwagon to add their own variations to the theme. We ended up with a massive repository of Twist recordings, two dozen of them comprising â??On The Dance Floor With a Twist.â?? Naturally, the man who started it all, Hank Ballard, is aboard, though not with the anthem that you might expect. Jerry Lee Lewis tearing through Iâ??ve Been Twistinâ?? might be a shocker to the uninitiated, while veteran bluesman Piano Redâ??s The Double Twist is a delight. The Isley Brothers, Gary â??U.S.â?? Bonds, Jo Ann Campbell, and Danny and The Juniors check in with classics, while The Ventures, the Glen Campbell-led Gee Cees, and The Champs prove that no lyrics were required to go Twisting. Eddie Clearwaterâ??s Twist Like This will leave you swearing youâ??re hearing a lost Chuck Berry classic; Dale Hawkins waxed his Do The Twist live in Miami, and The Top Notesâ?? original Twist And Shout is a real eye-opener. Obscurities by Billy Nix, The Zircons, The Chavis Brothers, and Billy Barnette and The Searchers are topped off by a marathon Chicken Twist by Paul Livert and The Lions. If this collection doesnâ??t get you up and moving, consider yourself expired! - .. DANCEFLOOR WITH A TWIST / 36PGS BOOKLET
