Review

In 2003, P-Vine (the Rhino of the Japanese market) released Doin' the Dixie Twist/Party Time, which contained two complete albums -- Doin' the Dixie Twist (1962, originally released on Tru) and Party Time (1961, also originally released on Tru) -- by the wailing tenor giant King Curtis on one compact disc. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
