Twist and Shout fue grabada originalmente por los Top Notes en 1961, pero se hizo famosa después de la versión de los Isley Brothers y, posteriormente, por la versión grabada por los Beatles en 1963, que es ampliamente conocida. La versión de los Beatles se grabó en una sola toma, a pesar de que John Lennon luchaba contra un resfriado, lo que agregó una voz ronca y distintiva a la grabación.
