" Stereophonics and Graham Coxon were among the musicians involved in a live re-recording of a classic Beatles album yesterday (February 11). Beverley Knight concluded a 10-hour recording session of the Please Please Me album for the BBC Radio 2 project, to mark its 50th anniversary.  She sang the album&amp;#039;s final track &amp;#039;Twist and Shout&amp;#039;, along with a full choir of backing singers. She told BBC News: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a huge, raucous song which everybody knows.&amp;quot; Mick Hucknall and Joss Stone were also among the acts who recorded the album at London&amp;#039;s Abbey Road. The Beatles famously recorded most of the album in under a day on February 11, 1963. Speaking about John Lennon battling through a cold on the final track, Knight said: &amp;quot;You can hear after the first verse that he&amp;#039;s done, he&amp;#039;s spent but he&amp;#039;s still giving it. &amp;quot;I heard he ripped his shirt off cause he was so hot and was getting down and dirty and that&amp;#039;s what you want, you can hear he&amp;#039;s giving every last drop.&amp;quot;  Stereophonics&amp;#039; Kelly Jones performed &amp;#039;I Saw Her Standing There&amp;#039;, while he had earlier busked outside the studio with Radio 2&amp;#039;s Chris Evans. Joss Stone performed The Beatles&amp;#039; cover of &amp;#039;A Taste of Honey&amp;#039;, along with a full string section. Blur&amp;#039;s Graham Coxon performed &amp;#039;Baby It&amp;#039;s You&amp;#039; in the style of the original version by The Shirelles. He said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m quite pleased to be doing that because it&amp;#039;s not one that people immediately think about a Beatles song, so it&amp;#039;s a sort of a soul song, which has its own challenges. &amp;quot;Although I&amp;#039;m not a soul singer, maybe I should have gargled some rice crispies to get a rough voice going, cause I&amp;#039;m not very gravelly.&amp;quot;   Ian Broudie of the Lightning Seeds covered &amp;#039;Do You Want To Know A Secret&amp;#039;, saying: &amp;quot;It was basically their live set. This is how they would have sounded at a live gig before they signed with George Martin. It&amp;#039;s a great photo.&amp;quot; Stuart Maconie will host a BBC Four documentary about the Radio 2 recording titled Please Please Me - Re-making A Classic, to be broadcast on Friday, February 15. He said: &amp;quot;I got here this morning and what struck me was that there are so many people here - bands, crews, journalists - and how different it must have been that morning 50 years ago when the Beatles arrived in their van. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m fascinated whether they knew they were changing the history of the world. Did they have an inkling? I wonder if McCartney knew?&amp;quot; The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour - Unseen footage:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
