#NowSpinning Au Bonheur Des Dames - Twist (1974)
This Parisian comedy/novelty rock troupe jumps on the #twistploitation trend a decade late, but it's still a fun romp with covers of Yakety-yak & Marty Robbins' Oh! The Girls translated to French. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Paul Livert & The Lions - Chicken Twist Vol. 2
I'm not 100% sure there's a 1st volume of this #twistploitation LP, the kind where each side is a single, long dancefloor filling jam. The backing act released their own LP without leader & drummer Livert. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Joe Barragan And The Twist Stompers - Twist Party (1962)
Every song on this #twistploitation LP on Crown has Twistin' or Twist in the title. Twistin' With Joe, Twistin' At Dino's, Twistin' The Twist. Have an Irish Twist, a Guitar Twist or a Samba Twist #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Carroll Brothers - College Twist Party (1960)
This #twistploitation LP actually omits the OG hit, but you get Bo Diddly, Johnny B. Goode, Jim Dandy & Rockin' Robin in it's stead. Frathouse Twist gives a nod to both the dance craze & the #fratrock sound #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity
