Originally released on Sue Records in 1963, this was Ike & Tina Turner's fourth album, the one that earned them a first grammy nomination and a further step in the consolidation of their international success. Most of the tunes here are highly energetic up-tempo numbers while the whole album comes as the fruit of a unique combination of raw R&B and highly energetic rock and roll.

Reissue, originally released in 1968. Husband-and-wife soul duo Ike & Tina Turner produced an astounding string of hits during the 1960s and '70s, before Tina went solo. Unjustly overlooked at its time of release, the duo's first blues album finds Tina's passionately powerful voice holding plenty of grit and Ike's guitar a restrained accompaniment throughout; the take of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Crazy 'Bout You Baby" has gripping electric piano and buzzing blues harp and Ike's "Grumbling" is a killer guitar groove. A good mix of covers and originals, it shows how well the duo could work in the blues idiom. Another great LP for all Ike & Tina fans! Licensed from Good Times.

Reissue, originally released in 1968. Among the most famous husband-and-wife soul duos of all time, Ike & Tina Turner scored an incredible array of hits in the 1960s and '70s, before Tina finally exited the partnership. The debut LP on the Pompeii label, So Fine dates from 1968, a couple of years after a support slot on a Rolling Stones tour boosted their profiles; in addition to a remake of early hit "A Fool In Love," there's an awesome take of Johnny Otis's "So Fine" and a competent rendition of "Shake A Tail Feather." Tina is fully in her element, the Ikettes keep up the harmonic pressure, and producer Ike handles the rest. Recommended listening for all soul fans! Licensed from Good Time Inc.

Wax Love present a reissue of Ike and Tina Turner's The Soul Of Ike & Tina, originally released on Sue in 1961. The debut LP from one of the most dynamic duos in the history of recorded music. Featuring their classic singles, "A Fool In Love" and "I Idolize You", this is one of the best R&B records of the early '60s. After joining his group as a backup singer in 1957, it soon became clear that Tina Turner's (then Ann Bullock, or Little Ann) talent and charisma were better suited for the spotlight, and by 1960 the group had changed names to the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. An essential record for any fans of Tina Turner or early '60s R&B -- truly a barn burner!

First vinyl reissue of Ike & Tina Turner's 1963 album Don't Play Me Cheap. "There has never been a team quite like Sue Records' Ike and Tina Turner, and now, making the vocal solo scene, Tina proves herself a performer and show-woman nonpareil. Aided by the fine hand of hubby Ike, who stays to cleft some of the numbers and play the guitar and piano in fine style, Tina applies her pulsating rhythm sense to uptempo tunes with devastating effect. Then she turns around (and around) and croons a love ballad with an earthy, emotional feel that leaves the listener humble with admiration. So listen to Tina's driving renditions of 'Wake Up,' 'Mama Tell Him' and 'I Made a Promise Up Above' plus her rockaballad versions of 'Don't Play Me Cheap,' 'Pretend,' 'Look Through Me,' 'Forever Mine' and 'My Everything to Me.' These songs were inspired choices to bring out Tina's rare ability to be equally at home with a shouting, screaming pulser, or a tender ballad that gives her a chance to show off her more gentle, kittenish side. As a nightclub attraction Ike and Tina have wowed em from coast to coast, and as recording stars they have no peers. And Tina's dynamic performance in this her latest Sue album firmly places the attractive, shapely star in the annals of all-time great disk stars." --original liner notes

In the late 1950s, Tina Turner (née Anna Mae Bullock) caught a performance of Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm at a St. Louis nightclub and practically begged Ike to let her sing with the band. Ike refused, as only men were allowed to sing in his group at the time, but she persisted, and once he heard Tina sing he wouldn't let her stop. Since that fateful meeting, the world of R&B has never been the same. Ike & Tina Turner's Kings of Rhythm Dance is their second long player, originally released in 1961, and it is full of stompers, rippers, and all around rocking R&B magic. Ike's guitar tone and style are the perfect complement to Tina's unmistakable voice. Now nearly impossible to find on original LP at a reasonable price, Rumble once again saves the party by putting another rare R&B classic back in print. Features the original hit version of "It's Gonna Work Out Fine."

The second Ike & Tina Turner LP was comprised of 1961-1962 recordings made in the midst of their rigorous touring schedule along the fabled "chitlin' circuit" and in between club residencies in their home base of St. Louis. Dynamite! features the Grammy-nominated, million-selling single and all-time classic R&B track, "It's Gonna Work Out Fine," but the hits don't stop there; "Poor Fool," "You Should've Treated Me Right," "Tra La La La," and "I Idolize You" were all chart hits. Absolutely guaranteed to fill the dancefloor, Ike & Tina's Dynamite! is probably their greatest LP and now it's back in print on vinyl.

"Well-known for her trademark legs, throaty voice, and boundless stage energy, Tina Turner was one of the sexiest and most popular international performers of the 20th century. Ike Turner, a well established seminal figure in the early years of rock & roll as both a performer and talent scout, met her one night in St. Louis while he was performing with his 'Kings Of Rhythm': she just grabbed the microphone and sang a B.B. King song, impressing Ike so immediately and overwhelmingly that he asked her to perform regularly with them. The rest is history: Ike's slick managing skills and songwriting, along with Tina's intensely energetic lead voice, three back-up 'Ikettes' and a technically airtight eight-piece band produced a combination of country blues, rock and roll, ghetto rhythm and gospel passion that created a legend lasting 50 years. 'It's Gonna Work Out Fine, ' 'I Pity the Fool, ' 'I Idolize You, and 'Tra La La La La.' are just some of the R&B gems included in their 1960 astonishing debut album."
