<Tr> <Th> Songwriter (s) </Th> <Td> Phil Medley, Bert Russell </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Td> George Martin </Td> </Tr> <P> Released on the Beatles' first UK album, Please Please Me (1963), the complete recording of which on February 11, 1963, was their first album session and is notable for 10 songs recorded in a mere 13 hours . Loosely based on the Isley Brothers version, "Twist and Shout", with John Lennon on lead vocals, was the last song recorded; producer George Martin knew Lennon's voice would suffer from the performance, so he left it until last, with only 15 minutes of scheduled recording time remaining . </P> <P> Lennon was suffering from a cold, and was drinking milk and sucking on cough drops to soothe his throat . His coughing is audible on the album, as is the cold's effect on his voice . Even so, he produced a memorable vocal performance: a raucous, dynamic rocker . He later said his voice was not the same for a long time afterward, and that "every time (he) swallowed, it felt like sandpaper". </P>
