One of my favorite examples of this is the Beatles:

> On 11 February 1963, the Beatles recorded ten songs during a single studio session for their debut LP, Please Please Me.

> Martin asked the band if they had any songs that they could record quickly. According to Martin, "It was a straightforward performance of their stage repertoire – a broadcast, more or less." Initially, a morning and afternoon session only were booked; the evening session was added later. Mark Lewisohn later wrote: "There can scarcely have been 585 more productive minutes in the history of recorded music".

Interestingly,

> .... the Beatles arrived with John Lennon suffering from a bad cold, which he attempted to treat with a steady supply of throat lozenges
