Twist & Shout is the second studio album by the Isley Brothers, released on Wand Records in 1962.[2] 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" and the charter, "Twistin' with Linda".

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.[3]
