Twist and Shout is the debut extended play by the English rock band the Beatles, released in the United Kingdom through EMI's Parlophone label on 12 July 1963. It contains four tracks produced by George Martin that were previously released on the band's debut studio album, Please Please Me (1963). Rush-released to meet public appetite, the record topped the UK EP chart for twenty-one weeks, the best-selling EP of all time in the United Kingdom up to that point, and appeared on the NME Singles Chart, peaking at number four. It was certified silver in the United Kingdom in August 1963. The EP's cover photograph, taken by Fiona Adams, features the Beatles jumping in a London bombsite. It has been described by The Telegraph as "one of the key images of the 1960s".
