Thank you guys. Really helpful.

I also detect that Chubby's voice is marginally higher in the original, but it may
just be the (antique) versions that I have.]]> Tue, 23 Feb 2021 16:44:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8963&PID=57515&title=chubby-checkerthe-twist#57515 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8963&PID=57514&title=chubby-checkerthe-twist#57514 Author: BSharp

The re-recordings have super big cymbals right from
the start... that's the easiest way to tell. Beyond
that, the snare drum is softer in the mix and the beat
is more of a four-on-the-floor style (with the
aforementioned open hi-hat cymbals). On the opening
note played by saxophone after the introductory snare
hit, the dynamics of the note don't change.

On the original version, the opening saxophone note
after that introductory snare drum hit gets louder in
the first four beats and the music has better dynamics
overall.

Or you could pick up on the ERIC CD of 'Hard to find
Jukebox Classics 1960-1965', in which they do a
spectacular job
with the DES on 'The Twist' -Bill.

Well, all stereo versions are re-recordings, recorded
for other labels, so if you want the original version,
go with the mono from one of the official ABKCO CDs.]]> Tue, 23 Feb 2021 14:27:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8963&PID=57511&title=chubby-checkerthe-twist#57511 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8963&PID=57507&title=chubby-checkerthe-twist#57507 Author: jebsib

Original recording on Cameo here is mono only. 1960. and
1962 same performance. Cameo/Parkway was mainly a mono
only label save for a very few titles. All Stereo
recordings are re-recordings. ]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2018 09:51:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8963&PID=49995&title=chubby-checkerthe-twist#49995 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8963&PID=49989&title=chubby-checkerthe-twist#49989 Author: PopArchivist

Thank you Paul for clarifying. I am trying to create the most accurate mono/stereo representation in my personal collection and did not want to include a stereo version of The Twist if none was actually recorded and released.

Thank you Aaron and BrianW for your knowledge about if it was the same exact version.

Aaron is correct that the 1960 and 1962 versions are the
same. The original, hit version was not recorded in
stereo. This is why all stereo versions are re-
recordings.]]> Tue, 28 Aug 2018 03:28:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8963&PID=49985&title=chubby-checkerthe-twist#49985 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8963&PID=49982&title=chubby-checkerthe-twist#49982 Author: aaronk

Oh, and to answer your #1 question, the 1960 and 1962 45s are the
same version. Come to think of it, I'm not certain I have ever heard a
true stereo version of the original hit. Even TM Century GoldDiscs use
the mono with some light stereo reverb added, and they tried to avoid
mono whenever possible on those discs. ]]> Mon, 27 Aug 2018 21:44:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8963&PID=49982&title=chubby-checkerthe-twist#49982
