Like several other icons of early '60s pop, by the end of the decade, Chubby Checker was eager to update his sound and message. The result was this enigmatic set of raw, soulful, psych-tinged ballads and rockers. Overseen by Jimi Hendrix's early producer Ed Chalpin, it was released in the UK only in 1971, and has its first official CD release here, complete with background notes, rare pictures and a stupendous bonus track. Fully remastered.

Grey-area reissue. "Chubby Checker goes psychedelic! In 1971, while living in Holland, the Twister King released a super rare album with some unknown hippie band backing him. Echoes of Hendrix and Arthur Lee circa Vindicator can be heard on the heavy grooves contained on this record: killer hard guitar, powerful vocals, garage-y organ, trippy lyrics, some introspective moments...11 long tracks (nine of them written by Chubby himself) with titles like 'Stoned in the Bathroom', 'My Mind', 'No Need To Get So Heavy,' 'He Died'... you won't believe it when you hear Mr. Checker sounding like a lost Morgan Bluetown late '60s UK band ('Goodbye Victoria'), like Hendrix jamming with Blue Cheer ('My Mind') or like a lost USA garage psych band ('Stoned In The Bathroom'). Produced by Ed Chalpin (famous for his bizarre involvement with Hendrix and Curtis Knight) and only released in several budget labels across Europe, this is the first time this amazing album is reissued on CD."
