Chubby Checker – For 'Teen Twisters Only
Title: Chubby Checker – For “Teen Twisters Only”
Year/Genre/City: 1962, Oldies/ Twist, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Matrix #: SP 7009
Condition: EX
Cultural Facts:
Dance Craze: This sits in the early-’60s moment when dance records were basically social technology—labels rushed out LPs built for parties, teen TV shows, and the idea that a new dance could unify a room fast.

Philly Pipeline: Checker came out of the Philadelphia hit-making world (Cameo-Parkway era), where producers, songwriters, and TV-friendly promotion turned local scenes into national youth trends.
