Here's the other Canadian rock and roll record I picked up at the WFMU Record Fair.

How old is that kid in the middle?

"Jungle Twist" is trying to catch a ride on the "Tequila" train. As a soundtrack person I was of course interested that they did "Never on Sunday" and as a Hank Williams fan I was curious about "Your Cheating Heart". All good, even the polka.

No info about the band on the back cover, just "Autres long-jeux populaires en vente chez votre marchand". It's a glimpse into a vanished world. Leo Benoit plays "Rock-N-Roll dans mon lit" and "La Cha-Cha en Pyjama". Then there are L'inimitable Norman Knight, Rosita et Deno Vous Présentent le Twist, Rock-N-Roll avec Les Hot Jives, Le Bon Twist Avec Pierre Lebon, Les Tune Up Boys, Echos du Far West….
