Description

This deluxe 2-CD digibook package is the first comprehensive retrospective of the work of Alvin Cash, the prime generator of dance craze tracks in the Chicago soul scene of the 1960s, which became so popular nationally. The set includes his only LP release named after his biggest hit, ‘Twine Time’ alongside his singles for Mar-V-Lus, Toddlin’ Town, Seventy-Seven and Sound Stage Seven. The set is filled with dance-based hits including ‘The Twine’, ‘The Boo Ga Loo’, ‘The Bump’, ‘The Barracuda’, ‘The Boston Monkey’, ‘The Penguin’, ‘ Freeze’, ‘The Charge’, ‘The Popcorn’ and ‘The Ali Shuffle’, devoted to the great boxer. The authoritative notes are by the eminent Chicago blues and soul expert Robert Pruter.
