Description
"Twist and Shout" is a 1961 song originally recorded by the Top Notes. It first became a chart hit as a cover single by the Isley Brothers in 1962. The song has since been covered by several artists, including the Beatles on their first album Please Please Me (1963), as well as The Tremeloes in 1962 and The Who in 1970 and 1984.
The Beatles released their version as a single in the US on March 2, 1964, with "There's a Place" as its B-side, by Chicago-based Vee-Jay Records on the Tollie label (9001). It reached #2 on April 4, 1964, during the week that the top five places on the chart were all Beatles singles (in the Cashbox singles chart for the same week, "Twist and Shout" was No. 1). In the United States, "Twist and Shout" was the only million-selling Beatles single that was a cover record, and the only Beatles cover single to reach the Top 10 on a national record chart. The song failed to hit #1 because the Beatles had another song occupying the top spot, "Can't Buy Me Love".
Tollie Records was a record label formed in February 1964, as a subsidiary label of Vee-Jay Records. It closed in May 1965. The label distributed two of the Beatles' singles in the United States before Capitol Records eventually took over. The second single released was "Love Me Do" b/w "P.S. I Love You" (Tollie 9008), in April 1964. Although the label released a total of 48 singles before it ceased operation in 1965, the Beatles records were the label's only million-sellers.
This Record is in Excellent (EX) condition. No scratches or abrasions on the vinyl or the labels, and minor signs of having been played. The sleeve is a Company Branded paper sleeve. Please see the Photographs for condition.
