Synopsis

Album Description
2009 compilation dedicated to The Twist, the '60s dance craze that got the whole world out of their armchairs and gyrating across the floor. Ace has devoted a whole CD in its Land Of 1000 Dances series to the unique phenomenon that was and forever will be The Twist. Though Chubby Checker's hit song that started it all is NOT included, there are some delightful twistin' tracks here that are just as memorable, including Joey Dee & The Starlighters' classic 'Peppermint Twist'. 24 tracks including cuts from Hank Ballard, Linda Hopkins, Petula Clark, The Isley Brothers, The Marvelettes, Bill Haley and many others.

CD Reviews

Another great addition
John B Goode | Nova Scotia, Canada | 08/10/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"There are some great treats on this cd. Many unkown to me quality tracks.



Some are very much novelty tracks - Murray the K for example. And a Lawrence Welk impersonation? Hilarious, anyway.



It's a little disappointing to see 3 tracks from earlier cds in this Ace series; Peppermint Twist is here again, and in the same stereo - would have been nice to get the MIA mono edition; some of the great tracks I'm unfamiliar with are in wonky stereo, such as Petula Clark's delightful French Ya Ya Twist.



Actually though. it's nice to hear a couple of Twist tracks from Britain and France.



And I'm sorry Cameo-Parkway has missed the boat again. No Chubby Checker, Dee Dee Sharp, etc."
