I'm not a big Chubby Checker fan and didn't even realize I owned this album until I was filing away a pile of vinyl that had been sitting under my desk for a year. Musically this set isn't anything to get excited about - just another entry in the seemingly endless caravan of early-'60s albums intended to ride on the Twist dance craze. The album cover isn't really an better until you take a close look at the map and realize the designer apparently failed out of Geography 101, Among the states missing in action - Mississippi, Louisiana, most of New England ... Maybe twisters wiped them off the map? Elsewhere state borders were simply realigned without much attention. Who knew Maryland was such a big place? Not sure, but it made me smile.
