In 1971, infamous Hendrix producer Ed Chaplin hustled "The King of The Twist" Chubby Checker into recording an album of psychedelic soul for his PPX Productions. The album got various releases under different low-budget imprints; in Britain the album was called "Chequered" and was released on London Records, another version was released in Belgium called "Slow Twistin'" on MFP Reocords, and YET another version on 51 West Records was called "New Revelation". Not too many people heard this album. In fact, the release was so limited that this album is now almost impossible to find on vinyl. Fortunately, the album was recently released for the first time on CD by French record label Underground Masters.
In any case, I think it is Chubby Checker's best work.
This is the opening track on the album, the amazing "Goodbye, Victoria".
