ABKCO

ABKCO Records is a music label that was formed in 1968 by Allen Klein, a prominent figure in the music industry. It is part of ABKCO Music & Records, Inc., which was founded in 1961 as Allen Klein & Company. Known for managing artists like Bobby Darin and Sam Cooke, Klein later went on to manage The Rolling Stones and The Beatles.

ABKCO Records primarily focuses on re-releasing recordings from its extensive catalog of music rights. In 1968, Allen Klein acquired Cameo-Parkway Records, and ABKCO still owns the full catalogue of this label today. Additionally, ABKCO owns and/or administers the rights to music by renowned artists such as Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, Herman's Hermits, Marianne Faithfull, and The Kinks.

Although Allen Klein passed away in 2009 from Alzheimer's Disease, ABKCO Records remains under the ownership of the Klein family. Currently managed by his son Jody Klein and distributed through Universal Music Group, the label continues to preserve and share iconic musical works with audiences worldwide.

A crazy 22-track collection containing some of the biggest dance craze hits from the Philadelphia label that got the world dancing in the early 1960s. Includes tracks by Cameo Parkway’s biggest stars: Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, Dee Dee Sharp, The Orlons and The Dovells as well as R&amp;B greats Don Covay and The Turbans. Twelve Top 40 hits including three number 1 chart toppers! Chubby Checker’s original hit version of The Twist, which has the distinction of being the only single of the rock era to reach number 1 twice in two consecutive years, is included. Includes rarities from the label never-before on compact disc. Features an essay by acclaimed rock and roll and R&amp;B historian John Broven. Mastered from the original master tapes from ABKCO’s Cameo Parkway archive.
