COMMENTS "Slow Down" is a rock and roll song written and performed by Larry Williams. Recorded in 1957, AllMusic writer Stewart Mason describes it as "raucous enough to be punk rock nearly a full two decades before the concept was even in existence." Specialty Records released it as a single in 1958, but only the second-side "Dizzy, Miss Lizzy" reached the record charts.  Both songs were later covered by the Beatles.
On 1 June, 1964, the Beatles recorded most of their version of "Slow Down" at EMI Studio 2 in London.
Parlophone released the song on the Long Tall Sally EP in June in the UK. In June, the song was included on the American album Something New. Capitol Records also released it as a single, with "Matchbox" (also from the Long Tall Sally EP) as the A-side, on 24 August, 1964. (from Wikipedia)
