Story & Background
This first pressing from 1962 of "Peppermint Twist" for JOLLY Records is a crucial piece of recording history, as it reveals intense commercial friction. Although Adriano Celentano had already founded his revolutionary Clan at the end of 1961, freeing himself from contractual obligations, Jolly shrewdly capitalised on his previous successes. This album, despite being a compilation of iconic hits like "24.000 baci" and the title track itself, which rode the trend of the moment, was not a simple collection. It represented, in fact, a genuine act of commercial power by the former label, which leveraged acquired rights to compete with the new productions of the independent "Molleggiato". A clear example of how the artistic ambition to emancipate oneself could clash with the contractual power of the majors, giving the public the unprecedented situation of two "Celentano"s on the market: one "old" and one "new", but both extraordinarily successful.
