Label: Beat Goes Public
Released 2011
Double vinyl LP pressing. 2011 collection compiled by British DJ Andy Smith, whose ground-breaking mix CD the Document introduced a whole new audience to the idea that old music could be as exciting as the new. On Jam Up Twist, Andy mixes up and brings together some incredible sounds in one seamless mix. It moves from the primitive Rockabilly of Al Ferrier, through West Coast '50s R&B monsters including Johnny Watson's 'The Bear', onto the irresistible sound of the Skatalites and pounding Soul from Toni & the Showmen and the San Francisco TKOs. Beat Goes On.
