"The Twist" was recorded for Cameo-Parkway Records and along with the label's other material, became unavailable after the early 1970s because of the company's internal legal disputes.
For decades, almost all compilations of Checker's hits consisted of re-recordings.
The 1970s saw him become a staple on the oldies circuit, including a temporary stint as a disco artist.
Chubby Checker continued to be a superstar in Europe with television and records.
A dance-floor cover version of the Beatles' "Back in the U.S.S.R." released in 1969 on Buddah Records, his first chart entry in three years, reached  No.
82.
It was Checker's last chart appearance until 1982 when he hit No.
92 with "Running".

In 1971, Checker at his own insistence recorded a psychedelic album filled with music he felt was "current" that was initially only released in Europe.
Originally named Chequered!,
it was renamed over the years in subsequent re-releases as New Revelation, The Other Side Of Chubby Checker, and sometimes as Chubby Checker.
The songs were all written by Checker and produced by longtime Jimi Hendrix producer Ed Chaplin, but the studio musicians' names are unknown.
The album flopped.

Later in the decade, he recorded an album of ”audiophile re-creations”
of his greatest hits, for producer Stan Shulman.
