YOU CAN’T GO / BE-BOP-A-LULA - JOHNNY CARROLL AND THE BLUE CAPS.  
It is almost inconceivable to think that these two amazing recordings have remained undiscovered for so long.  These are not demo cuts or home recordings, these are high quality professionally produced, studio recordings.  Johnny Carroll teamed up with non-other than the legendary Blue Caps to record both tracks.  They were most likely recorded in Fort Worth, Texas and are credited as having been produced by Major Bill Smith.

Killer opening track from the Vee-Tone Records 7" vinyl EP The Twistin' Train EP (VTREP301) - 4 x killer early 60s floor fillers......

When Hank Ballard released “The Twist” as the flip side to "Teardrops on Your Letter" in 1959, he could never have imagined how popular this new “dance craze” would become.  American Bandstand’s Dick Clark, instantly saw the song's potential, when he heard Hank Ballard & The Midnighter’s version, however he felt Hank Ballard far too raunchy for American Bandstand, having released risqué songs like - "Work with Me, Annie", "Annie Had a Baby" and "Annie's Aunt Fannie". Clark suggested to Philadelphia’s Cameo/Parkway record label that they re-record the song, using the clean-cut, and more publicly acceptable Chubby Checker.  Checker’s version was released in 1960, and reached number one in the States, and then again in 1962 (the only record of the Rock 'n' Roll era to reach number 1 in two separate years).

This limited edition extended play 45 (only 500 worldwide), is a must have addition to any Rhythm & Blues / Rock n Roll vinyl collection.  This stunning EP comes with a quality high gloss outer sleeve, and paper inner sleeve for additional vinyl protection (shrink wrapped).  

The Twistin’ Train EP (VTREP301), is a truly international tribute to the dance that is “The Twist”!  Featuring four very different cuts from Britain, The US and France.  Our powerhouse opener, “The Twistin’ Train” literally moves along like a train possessed, under the very capable supervision of “Head Station Master”, Cyril Stapleton… his band honk ’n’ hollar their way right through to their final destination on this knockout instrumental floor filler!  The fast paced “Double Twist” is another killer cut, from Liverpool’s very own “Howie Casey And The Seniors”, Casey’s sax playing is just out of this world, as are Derry Wilkie and Freddie Fowell’s vocals.  Our B Side opens with French Rocker Johnny Hallyday, with one of his many Twist songs from the early ‘60s, “Wap-Dou-Wap (Tu Aimes Le Twist)” is a fine rockin’ floor filler.  Our Trans-Atlantic offering, comes from Alabama blues man Jerry “Boogie” McCain, perhaps not an obvious choice for a Twist collection, but none the less this little gem from ’62 is sure to turn up the heat on the dance floor.
