Story & Background
The 1962 album "Peppermint Twist", released by Jolly, is not only a discographic milestone for Adriano Celentano, but represents a true symbol of the cultural revolution that the Twist brought to Italy. Although the track that gives the album its title was a cover of the eponymous hit by Joey Dee & the Starliters, Celentano was the undisputed catalyst for this trend in the Bel Paese. With his contagious energy and his ability to make the American sound 'italiano', he transformed the Twist from a simple exotic dance into a mass phenomenon, capable of getting entire generations moving. This first pressing captures a crucial moment: Celentano was at the peak of his "urlatore" phase on Jolly, shortly before founding his famous Clan, and the album consolidated his image as a rebel and innovator, a true "Molleggiato" who made conventions tremble and, literally, the parquet floors of the dance halls with the wild rhythm of the Twist, demonstrating once again his infallible nose for public taste and his ability to shape cultural phenomena.
