Various - Hits und Raritäten auf deutsch - Twist in der DDR (CD)

Description: Twist in der DDR (CD) Various - Hits und Raritäten auf deutsch 1 CD with 40-page booklet, 31 tracks. Playing time approx. 76 minutes.The plan was: World level! Whether the performers achieved this, every listener must decide for himself. One thing is certain - although it is only now being appreciated on CD for the first time - that in the former GDR, too, twisting was done until the joints cracked.While the West German hip wobblers were already lagging behind the trend (once again), it took a little longer between Rostock and Aue for vocal and instrumental artists to dedicate themselves to the new dance. Because of course the party and the almighty senile crowd around Walter Ulbricht and consorts once again sensed the downfall of the West - this time fueled by the new sound that Hank Ballard, Chubby Checker & Co. had instigated in wicked America.In order not to completely spoil things with the interested parts of the East youth, however, the state leadership gradually made concessions: While twist-related compositions were initially still coyly called 'foxtrot' on record labels, from 1963 on there was no stopping them - even 'in the East' the hips were twitching.Popular stars from the first set of pop singers and full-time dance orchestras were involved: Ruth Brandin, Britt Kersten, Frank Schöbel and Manfred Krug (as composer/lyricist under the pseudonym Clemens Kerber) delivered titles - bands and ensembles like the Sputniks, Amigos and the Theo Schumann Combo skillfully implemented the new rhythm. And a song like the Karthäuser Knickebein Shake by Lutz Jahoda was even adopted into the repertoire in the West by Ralf Bendix.'Twist in der DDR' is the first CD coupling on this subject and thus also a long-neglected chapter of German music history - it presents 31 classic song examples, many of which celebrate their premiere on a compact disc: collectors can breathe a sigh of relief, they no longer have to chase after various rarities (almost hopelessly). A 40-page book provides interesting background information.
