Twinn Connexion is the 1968 self-titled debut album by identical twin brothers Jerry and Jay Hopkins, who recorded under the name Twinn Connexion.
The album was released by Decca Records on October 4, 1968 with songs by Jerry Keller and David Blume. The musical style consisted of pop harmonies influenced by the soft rock and folk rock styles that were popular during the late 1960s.
Interest in the duo's music was revived when their musical style was recognized as belonging to the subgenre of 1960s pop music now called sunshine pop. Their songs were featured on several popular sunshine pop compilations. There was soon a demand for the 1968 Twinn Connexion album, with the rare copies fetching high prices on the collectors' market.
