About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: As adjuncts to our highly popular InchAmerica's Greatest HitsInch series of collections for each calendar year in the 50s and early '60s, we have already produced collections based on landmark moments in the Billboard charts - InchThe First Top 100 Nov. 1955Inch (ACQCD7062), InchThe First Hot 100 Aug. 1958Inch (ACQCD7083), InchThe First Hot 100 of the '60sInch (ACQCD7097), InchThe 'Heartbreak Hotel' Top 100Inch (ACQCD7122)and InchThe Day The Music Died - Feb 3rd 1959 Hot 100Inch (ACQCD7134) and InchThe 'Telstar' Hot 100 December 22nd 1962Inch (ACQCD7144) each comprising the records in the Top 100 for the date in question. This collection celebrates a notable chart event of January 1962, namely when Chubby Checker's record InchThe TwistInch topped the US pop charts for the second time, signalling the approaching peak of the worldwide Twist dance craze - he had first made No.1 well over a year earlier, in September 1960, since which time the dance had started to catch on all round the world. This collection comprises just about all the records in the Billboard Hot 100 of that week (one record is unavailable for copyright reasons) and it provides a fascinating and evocative snapshot of the music scene at what was already a dynamic and transitional time, with The Beatles' first UK hit only nine months away. It includes seven Twist hits which underline the popularity of the dance. It's a window onto a vibrant and exciting musical environment, and includes a number of unfamiliar names and recordings of which even pop enthusiasts may not be too aware, and which will be welcome additions to their collections. It contains a 12,000+ word booklet featuring background notes on every record. Album Tracks 1. Chubby Checker - the Twist 2. The Tokens - the Lion Sleeps Tonight 3. Joey Dee & the Starliters - Peppermint Twist 4. Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling in Love
