How DID Johns sing Twist & Shout like that?

Quoted from Benreturns

In peoples opinion, what do you all think is Johns best vocal performace? I go for the following

Twist and Shout (how did he DO that!?)

Somebody asked on the forum that question. Well, as I remember, watching the video anthology, the guys recorded their first album in 12 or so hours,right? And Twist and shout was the last song in that album. John said: "I couldn't sing that, I just screamed the damn thing!" Of course, after
being in studio and for that long period of time, and recording take after take after take of the songs, the result is Twist and Shout sung like that...
So, it isn't mystery, it's just singing for 12 hours. And Paul - or somebody said - that it isn't a great deal to make an album in 12 hours, because, he said, the band was performing a lot in Germany, when they were still more or less unknown, day after day, so, I think, they had something like an live performance, a concert - in studio... John once said: "When we came to Britain from Germany, they'll all thought we were Germans and said that our English is pretty good."

Beatles about that song:

TWIST AND SHOUT
(Medley/Russell)

JOHN 1963: "I always hate singing the song, 'Twist And Shout' when there's a colored artist on the bill with us. It doesn't seem right, you know. I feel sort of embarrassed... It makes me curl up. I always feel they could do the song much better than me."

JOHN 1971: "The more interesting songs to me were the black ones because they were more simple. They sort of said shake-your-arse, or your prick, which was an innovation really. The blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain, and also about sex, which is why I like it."

JOHN 1976: "The last song nearly killed me. My voice wasn't the same for a long time after-- everytime I swallowed it was like sandpaper. I was always bitterly ashamed of it because I could sing it better than that, but now it doesn't bother me. You can hear I'm just a frantic guy doing his best."

PAUL 1988: "There's a power in John's voice there that certainly hasn't been equaled since. And I know exactly why-- It's because he worked his bollocks off that day. We left 'Twist And Shout' until the very last thing because we knew there was one take."

RINGO 1994: "We started (recording the album) about noon and finished it at midnight, with John being really hoarse by 'Twist And Shout.'"

ON SONGWRITING (DURING THE 'PLEASE PLEASE ME' PERIOD)

JOHN 1963: "All the better songs that we have written-- the ones that anybody wants to hear-- those were co-written. Sometimes half the words are written by me and he'll finish them off. We go along a word each, practically."

ON RECORDING THE 'PLEASE PLEASE ME' ALBUM

JOHN 1963: "We sang for twelve hours nonstop. Waiting to hear the LP played back was one of our most worrying experiences. We're perfectionists. If it had come out any old way we'd have wanted to do it all over again. As it happens we're very happy with the result."

JOHN 1976: "That record tried to capture us live, and was the nearest thing to what we might have sounded like to the audiences in Hamburg and Liverpool. You don't get that live atmosphere of the crowd stomping on the beat with you, but it's the nearest you can get to knowing what we sounded like before we became the 'clever' Beatles."

PAUL 1988: "The whole album only took a day... so it was amazingly cheap, no-messing, just a massive effort from us. But we were game. We'd been to Hamburg for Christ's sake, we'd stayed up all night, it was no big deal. We started at ten in the morning and finished at ten at night... it sounded like a working day to us! And at the end of the day you had your album. There's many a person now who would love to be able to say that. Me included."
