CHUBBY CHECKER "chubby checker's dancin' party-'ep'" 1962
very little info to go on for this release other than its a four track 'ep' that contains four of his UK single "A" sides....
the UK market did that a lot in the 1960s....release 'ep' discs of previous singles, i suspect it was to fill in gaps between future releases...
as such, this one didnt make the UK charts,probably because most people who wanted these tracks had previously purchased the single version...
love three of the tracks on here, the other one entitled "the fly", i like also, but that annoying persistant sound of a fly buzzing round spoils it for me...
great set of tracks overall though, and a good artist also....
