"For those who lived through the 60s, this is a chance to relive the magic.

"For those who didn’t, Twist and Shout offers the perfect opportunity to discover what made the decade so iconic.

"As the saying goes, 'If you remember the 60s, you really weren’t there.'

"Now, thanks to Twist and Shout, you can find out exactly what you missed."
