Twist & Shout is the second studio album by the Isley Brothers, released on Wand Records in 1962. The album was released on the success of the title track, which would later become a hit for the Beatles. Other songs on the album include Isley-penned tracks such as "Right Now", "Nobody but Me". Three songs were written by Elaine Jasper, wife of Rudolph Isley and sister of later Isley Brothers member Chris Jasper. Charter "Twistin' with Linda" is included as a bonus track on the 1993 CD reissue.
In 1964, the record label rereleased and renamed Twist & Shout as Take Some Time Out for The Famous Isley Brothers, due to the popularity of the Beatles' rendition of "Twist & Shout". The album cover of Take Some Time Out for The Famous Isley Brothers is a picture of the trio performing in a night club.
The album peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart.
